Cosleeping

Yesterday I woke up in Ibarra, at my aunt’s home. I wasn’t sure where I was and why, but then I looked to my side and saw Carlos peacefully sleeping.

How I enjoy co-sleeping with him!, and what a blessing that he feels safe during his sleep anywhere we go. Next day he’s ready for a new adventure – And I am.

Today we’re heading back to Quito, with a short stop in Otavalo.

Let Your Young Kids Enjoy Helping with Household Chores

It is important for children of even a very young age to feel important to the family. Chores help them do this. Even a very small task will give a child a sense of accomplishment and he will feel like he is really contributing something to his household.

Selendang Video Tutorial

I found this video on how to comforbably wear an Indonesian Selandang baby carrier on your back.

When Carlos was a baby I enjoyed wearing our Indonesian Selandang for short periods of time.

For me it’s a quick and easy carrier ideal for toddlers who constantly demand your arms for short periods, for nursing little babies or just any time you need an instant carrier.

Also, a Selandang is very lightweight that you can carry on your purse, just in case.
