Kid's Toys and Saige's Motor Skills

Today, Saige and I participated in a class where we looked at primitive motor skills and development. I am happy to report that Saige is ahead for her age. I figured since she is a "chubby" baby, doesn't really like tummy time, and still isn't rolling over that maybe she is a little behind. The instructor said that she was a strong baby and that she is doing great. So..in the end, it was fun thing to do (even though Saige did get mad after awhile). The instructor gave us a certificate and a toy. Which brings me to the topic of kid's toys.

I AM SUPER PARANOID ABOUT TOXIC TOYS!! She gave Saige a Sassy brand toy that is called "bumble bites". The good news is that I found it to be a safe toy here. Anyhow...I feel like a lot of mothers that I talk to don't even questions the toys out there and just assume that the companies aren't putting toxic material in toys that little babies use. Am I just being extra paranoid?

Of late, toys for children have become very sacry; it's hard to know which are safe and which aren't.

Saige is so sweet to look at: just looking at her photo fills me with great joy. God bless her!

No, you are not being paranoid! With the scares of Thomas the Trains and other toys made in China having lead paint, I have requested that our family purchase wooden toys or toys made in Europe (where manufacturing regulations are stricter than in the U.S.).

Good for you for researching where your child's toys come from and what chemicals may be in them.

I have changed the URL fo my blog 'Basawad's Safari Notes' from: http://omar-basawad.blogspot.com/ to http://safarinotes.blogspot.com/.

Note: now, somebody else has hijacked the previous URL and is using it in a very distasteful way. It's a very good lesson: never delete or change a blog URL, especially if it's personal.
