My wife and I were just blessed with the arrival of our son, Nicholas. While I'd like to introduce him to the world of Clever Robots, Gizmos and Super Colliders I figure I'd better wrap my head around the basics first!
I've been scouring the wide expanses of the web for resources and so far the one of the best, and most useful repositories of information has been the First 5 of California Parents Site.
On there I've been able to find out just about anything - from what to feed my newborn son to the best ways to stimulate his brain to ensure that his neurons continue firing and so that he builds those ever important, critical pathways in his brain.
Since I'm a terrible cook and to me WINNING would be not burning the toast the cookbook that I found on the site was especially helpful. It's full of health, easy to prepare recepies that are affordable and won't keep you slaving in the kitchen. you can grab a copy here: First 5 Cookbook
Something also that I found quite "clever" (lol) were the other downloadable "tools" if you want to call them that. When it's time to settle down and read to your child the latest installment of the Harry Potter series and suddenly you get 4 calls from work, the microwave dings, the cat gets into the rolls of toilet paper - no fear you can save your spot with this handy bookmark: First 5 Of California Bookmark
Well that's all for today I hear a baby crying......
