Greetings!

Earth Day is this month (22nd) and there are lots of things you can do with your child to help them start thinking early about being kind to our planet. 

Here's a great website with tips: Earth Day

Did you know....?
Speaking of Saving the Planet....  

One way to save the planet is to think about potty training your little one earlier. The Baby Signs® Program has a potty training kit to help you use basic signs with your baby before they can talk so they can let you know when it's time to "go".  And there's lots of help for the parents to make it happen no matter when you start.

Check out this article by Dr. Linda Acredolo, co-founder of the Baby Signs® Program as she talks about potty training her twin grandchildren.
