Merrily We Meet: Week 1

Today was an amazing adventure! 
As of a couple weeks ago I was able to register Stella in the Merrily We Meet 
program at the Suncoast Waldorf. And boy oh boy she had so much fun and made new friends! 
She got along with everyone and even gave a few hugs out. 
First thing the little ones did is play with the toys and get to know each other a bit. 
Right off the bat Stella was handing over toys to the other kids. 
She wanted to brings toys over to me too and make sure I got a little involved,
 but only minutes later she brought the toys back to the floor and played more. 
After a good 40 mins or so everyone starred putting toys away slowly. 
Stella was sitting in a rocking pony observing how it was all being handled. 
I likes how it wasn't a rush of putting the toys back because once all the little ones saw how it was happening they helped. When all the toys were put back we all got in a 
circle and did a little sing a long. Stella loooves sing alongs so she was all 
about learning the hand movements and catching the tune.
Next was putting back on our shoes and going outside to play some more.
 Stella and two other little ones went straight to the slide. 
She even waited and cheered someone on while they were a little to scared to go down. 
As soon as they did Stella jumped with joy and they ran around and did it over again. 
She also played in the sand, went for a swing, and even tried a seesaw for the first time.
When it was all said and done it was time for goodbyes, Stella was sad but not so so sad, because she knew she was coming back. 

We'll be going every Tuesday for the next 8 weeks. 
I didn't get many pictures because I didn't think we could until last minuet. 
So here's a few of Stella pushing a cart!

TFGBC: Day 5- Helpful Tips To Calm Your Toddler For Bed

*Disclaimer! I'm not an expert! All our Children are unique! These are things that help Stella and I for when she is feeling a bit groggy or having growing pains. I hope some of these tips help you! Tell me in the comments below your tips!*

When your little one is just in a so-tired-but-can't-sleep-mood these are some Helpful Tips on what I do to help Stella get a better sleep.
Lavender is Love!
I absolutely love lavender anything!
Lavender Wen hair products,
and Lavender Epson Salt.


Bath Time!
Usually about an hour or so before I set her down for bed I get  her bath ready.
Fill up that tub put that Epson Salt in there and throw them in the tub.
(DO NOT LITERALLY THROW IN TUB)lol
Turn on that YouTube and play some calming meditation while you give them a bath.
My favorite bath time song is HERE.
After she plays around for a bit I put the Conditioner in her hair and give her a head massage. 
This loosens up her sinus's. Plus if you're using the Lavender Conditioner it give a tiny tingly smell.

After Bath Time!
Get what ever lotion you use. 
I personally made my own lotion so if you want to do the same go HERE. 
Give your little one a body massage!
Especially if they are going through some growing pains this helps wonders!
It loosens their muscles and relaxes their mind. 


Time For Bed!
After all that soothing, before you set the little one down pour 2 or 3 drops of 
the Essential Oil on the bed.
As they lay in their bed play some bedtime music.
For this I usually play classical music such as Mozart or Beethoven.
This one is my FAVORITE.
Also read to them! Your baby's imagination is running wild and they love to hear your voice and learn the tones.
My personal favorite is Oh The Places You'll Go by Dr. Suess. 


I hope this helps you as much as is does me!
Tell me what you do!
Thanks for reading!

Much Love,Sara Litardo
