It's All About the Box (and Toy)
Question: How many of you read the BabyCenter site pretty much weekly while you were pregnant and the first few months after the baby came along? Yep, I did, from the due-date calculator to the nursing and first-foods advice and developmental milestones lists. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Baby Center was one of the first comprehensive parenting web sites, and one of the first to feature popular parenting blogs.)
Then Baby A started crawling, and "Lord, what is she into NOW?" became much more pressing than "Wonder what developmental stage is next?"
So yesterday I found this intriguing BabyCenter page of parents' comments on families and fast food. There was one especially good tip:
We've also found that if you ask nicely, most places will put your order in the special box with a toy, and the kids are really happy then!
That's a good one. Have you ever tried it? What other good tips have you come across lately? Comment and share.
