I love this age. Four year olds are not toddlers anymore, but they also aren't quite school-age "kids" yet either. They have interests that range from Barbies to Spider Man to Disney Princesses to Legos to pretend play and more! Gifting for this age is so much fun, but it can also be tricky. By this age, they probably are starting to outgrow some of their "baby" toys and are starting to look at things like Lego sets or pretend make up or even early reading. It's important to cater to their interests and to respect their parents' preferences. Don't gift just another toy that'll get buried and forgotten. My list will help you stand out at the next birthday party for a 4 year old that you attend!

I didn’t want to go the medication all the time route for teething and searched for more natural or cleaner options for medications. I also had a ton of Teethers that were given or recommended by my son’s physical therapist after we had his tongue tie released at 14 weeks old. She gave me many she uses to encourage tongue movement and exploration, as well as simply helping to relieve some teething pain and discomfort.

As the saying goes there is no manual, no book, no follow along tutorial to raise healthy little humans. We all make mistakes as we go along this journey called parenthood. The important part of the journey is as long as we can learn from our mistakes and aim to bring out the best version of ourselves as parents, we will bring out the best version in our little humans. I believe it is possible. A little love goes a long way. Here is what I have learned along the way and still keep on learning.
