“A mother understands what a child does not say.” -Jewish proverb

Out of the Mouths of Babes

A mother and her young son returned from the shopping centre and began putting away the shopping.    The boy opened the box of animal crackers and spread them all over the table. “What are you doing?” his mother asked.   “The box says you can’t eat them if the seal is broken,” the boy explained. “I’m looking for the seal.”

Did you know ?

Birthmarks are more common than unusual. If your newborn baby has a birthmark or other skin colour abnormality, this is actually very normal.  It is reported that around 80% of all babies are born with some form of birthmark on their body. The most common marks include stork bites and port wine stains. If you enjoy our Did you know? Information feel free to comment or follow our baby news via Faceook, Twitter or RSS Feed.

What were they thinking – Potty Mitts

But wait – here’s another coloured Mitt!  We thought these were a very funny product for children.  If you are worried about your child catching diseases from touching surfaces in public toilets – then these teddy bear decorated, water-resistant Potty Mitts are just the thing for you.  If you’ve lost confidence in your purse sized packs of hand sanitiser then Potty Mitts are your conscience savers. As well as keeping your child free of germs whilst sitting, these revolutionary disposable gloves come with thier own pouch and it’s small enough to fit into your handbag or nappy bag.  How clever and convenient! You must throw them in the bin afterwards though, as they’re not flush-able down the toilet.

Sassy Sagittarian babies – 23 Nov to 21 Dec.

Your little Sagittarian baby is likely to be very funny, making you laugh from day one. But what else will he or she be like?

Sagittarians born 23-30 November are a lovely, loving bunch of kids. They always want the freedom to explore and you can anticipate with Venus in Sagittarius until 26 November they will be attracted to the exotic stranger across the room. They like a companion for life, and are very loyal to their friends. They have an electric air of energy about them and speaking of energy, they have immense capacity to lead and will work inordinate hours to extract the best from a project. They have a sweetness about them too which is quite touching and unexpected. Those born from 26 November onwards have Venus in Capricorn which suggests their need for social propriety clashes with their need for unconvenionality. They may dress sedately but have a wild-looking partner, for example. And with Venus trine Jupiter these sweethearts will always be protected by the good fortune fairy. Everyone loves them – and they’re not bad at making money, either!

Babies born 1-7 December pack quite a powerful emotional punch. With Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, love is supremely important to them; they will be quite intense about their loved ones, especially their partners. And they HATE to be “played”, I mean, they could take revenge if they hated their ex enough! These kids are possessive and jealous of losing another’s affections; teach them that not everyone is meant to be The One. Oh, and schedule that birds’n’bees talk early: they have a very high sex drive too to go along with their sizzling charisma. They may have to learn some lessons about controlling their temper or that they can’t get their own way all the time. Very bright, they won’t suffer fools – or bigots – gladly. Take them travelling from a very early age – they’ll love expanding their horizons and it will let them see a different side to the world.

Saggie babies born 8-15 December enjoy Uranus in Aries and then Mercury in Sagittarius going direct on 10 and 14 December respectively. They will be independent little souls, bright, inquisitive, willing to question authority and so quick to jump on a plane!  There are no major aspects during this week so those born earlier in the weeks will be earthy sensualists who want perfection and perhaps people to agree with them automatically! If they happen to be born on the Full Moon of 10 December they will benefit from a calm atmosphere, encouraged to count to ten and to listen to others. Those born towards the end of the week will receive a weakened dose of the Venus square Saturn aspect which tends to make poeple doubt their appeal and popularity. Be extra affectionate and tactile with these ones!

The last week’s crop of Sagittarian babies have an interesting mixed bag of aspects. Like those born the week before, they doubt their own lovability and may either delay their search for a partner until they feel more confident or seek an older partner who is less likely to play games. They have a quite a serious side for a Sagittarius and handle responsibilities maturely from a young age. In some respects, you won’t have to discipline them as much because they have an innate sense of the right thing to do. They’re also sweeth-natured, possessing goodwill, compassion and sensitivity in bucketloads. They do have a weakness for spending money however and may charm you – or is that disarm you? – with generous displays of affection (and laden shopping bags). Those born around 21 December have a sparkling electricity to them and they may fall in and out of love particularly with platonic pals. Expect to see an odd assortment of characters brought home!
