This is a non critical book review of Go, Dog. Go! by P.D. Eastman.  This book is for ages 3-7 but Baby C began enjoying it at 15 months.  This is a book of opposites with whimsical illustrations and statement driven text that is easy to understand.

During one of their play sessions, Baby C's Mom talks about finding the balance between independent and interactive play.  

These are the resources she mentions:

Podcast update:  Baby C is keeping his Mom very busy and she will have to give up interviewing for awhile.  In this episode she explains how they're using play to help Baby C through diaper changes.

Thanks for tuning in!

Happy New Year everyone!  Baby C has been doing A LOT of crying while playing so Baby C's Mom decided to do a diary entry about it.  In this diary entry she explains what she does when he's crying to help him chill out.  It's not meant to be professional advice.  Just a tired, stressed out Mom explaining how she survives.  If you can relate we would love to hear from you!  There will be a corresponding post on Instagram.  Let us know what YOU do.  We need allll the help we can get.

Welcome to our first (non critical) book review!  We've been reading to Baby C since he loves books!

In this review we tell you the premise and our experience of reading the book to Baby C.  We also talk about the design and construction.

We purchased it as a board book from Amazon (support local if you can!):  https://amzn.to/3jCQRfI
