Grow Baby Green
I know after I had Will that trying to use natural products was something that we were going to try to do. Grow Baby Green is a website dedicated to helping stay environmentally safe and sound with your child’s products. They give some great idea of how to help the environment and not break the bank. Surprisingly, you may be do some of these things already. For example, recycling your clothes. Both my kids wear hand-me-down clothes. I also pass their clothes down to other cousins who can use them. I have also donated my clothes and other items in the house that aren’t being used to Goodwill, so somebody else can get a use out of them. There is also a great article of why you shouldn’t be using bleach. Did you know that more deaths occur due to the inhalation or ingestion of bleach than from any other household cleaning product? That alone should keep bleach out of your house! Each post has some great eco-friendly products to look at and try out too. This is a great place to stop and check out how you can make little changes in your house and with your kids to help the environment. It is these baby steps that allow for a better environment for us all.
Las Vegas
I am started to get excited. I fly out tomorrow for Las Vegas for BlogWorld and PostieCon. I ton of fellow bloggers are flying in from all over the country to this event! Not too surprisingly, we are are all staying at different Las Vegas Hotels. I am staying at the Hilton Grand Vacation club, some are at the Hilton, and some are at the Imperial Palace (these are just the people I know — I am sure all the Las Vegas Hotels are pretty booked up). Having been to Vegas before, it really doesn’t matter which Las Vegas Hotels you stay in. You don’t spend a whole lot of time in the room. Well, at least we didn’t. We spent most of our time in the casinos and the shows. This is definitely a town that you cannot be bored in.
By this time tomorrow, I will be blogging from Vegas. See ya there!

Preschool Screening
We went to Madison’s preschool screening today. It went well. I really did not plan on sending her to preschool this fall, but I wanted to make sure that she was where she needs to be developmentally. We also learned some thing we need to work on.
First, the kid cannot catch. I did not know this. I guess Bill knew this. So we will need to work on this. She also cannot hop on one foot or skip.
Next, she does not hold a pencil correctly. I did not know this either. However, I know why this is an issue for her. I am right handed. Bill is left handed. See the problem?
She knew the majority of her body parts. The ones she didn’t know were like heel and forehead. Not ones you work on everyday.
She did know her name and that she was a girl. She also knew she was 3. Thank goodness they did not ask where she lives. Her answer to that question is “the beach”. Let me tell you, Chicago is no beach. LOL
She got all of the color except for grey. However, when they asked her to point to something grey she did.
She knew all her shapes. She was also able to take blocks and build them in the patterns they wanted her too.
She didn’t know what she was suppose to do if she broke something. Surprisingly, at home, she knows. LOL She did know if it was dark that you turned the light on.
They also did a hearing test that she passed.
That’s all I can remember right now, but like I said, it went well. I am not too concerned about the things we have to work on.
