When my daughter Ally turned 3, I thought it would be a good time to start talking about how to use the telephone. So we had her talk on the phone to relatives and she helped us dial when we made a phone call.
For Ally’s second birthday, one of my friends put together one of the best gifts I’ve ever seen. She filled a gift bag with all sorts of art supplies such as glue sticks, paints, safety scissors, crayons, markers, stencils, paper, glitter, pipe cleaners, stickers, etc.
I recently stumbled upon a great, inexpensive activity that will keep young kids busy on hot summer days – paint the sidewalk with water!
Since she turned 4, my daughter Ally has become more and more independent. And one of her favorite new freedoms is picking out her own shoes each day and putting them on all by herself.
When family birthdays and holidays roll around, we like to have our daughter Ally, 4, make something special for her grandparents, aunts or uncle.
This Mom Tip was passed on to me by a fellow mom and I thought it was such a great solution to the very common dilemma of keeping your car upholstery clean when your kids are eating in the backseat.
My daughter Ally, 4, has always loved sidewalk chalk. We draw the hopscotch squares and pictures and write our names. And we do this over and over again.
I’m always carrying around snacks in my purse for my daughter Ally, 4. I always want to carry a variety of choices for Ally, so I toss granola bars and small bags of Goldfish crackers, animal crackers and pretzels in my purse. But whatever snacks don’t get picked will stay in my purse and I’ll find them a couple of days later at the bottom of my bag reduced to crumbs and dust.

My daughter’s preschool teacher recommended reviewing phonics lessons with my daughter Ally, 4, over the summer.
