Hi Niki,

I think it's so awesome what you did! Congrats on your courage to take this big step!

I signed up for the weekly Babycenter newsletters when I found out I was preggers with Lilly and still receive them. They give awesome tips for age-appropriate games and activities.

All time favourites in our house are all items that are NOT toys, i.e. all household goodies, my camera bag, the little water jug used to refill thew iron with water and all sorts of other nonsense, preferably stuff that makes lots of noise when banged or thrown on the floor

Also playing hide and seek (objects and people) is always lots of fun and helps them understand object permanence.

I put a big mirror on the floor in the lounge where Lilly plays and she keeps herself busy with 'the other baby' for 20 minutes on end.
