Tips on Tuesday

It's Tips on Tuesdays again and I'm hoping for a little more "audience particpation" this time!! You are ALL great moms and I know that you are doing great things with your little ones--SHARE! If you don't think you have a tip to share, complete this sentence and send it in:

I'm an awesome mom because....

It doesn't have to really be "your" tip, either. I stole this one from a magazine last summer. Here's my tip, it's another Bubby-related one, but it will work for just about any age child:

If you have a crab, put it in water.

When the kids are fussy, get out the baby pool, bathtub, or, in this photo's case, the watertable. Heck, if push comes to shove, get out the garden hose. On a really bad day, we'll drive to my mom's and get in her pool. Let him make a play and mess--it's just water!! For us, water play = happy kids. The added bonus? Water also tends to make kids verrrrrrrrrrry sleepy!

What's your tip this week??
