How did you do it all, Mom,Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,Yet find time to be a playmateI just can't comprehend.
I see now it was love, MomThat made you come whenever I'd call,Your inexhaustible love, MomAnd I thank you for it all.

Ask the Pediatrician
We weren’t able to get the H1N1 shot for my children until early this year (late January). Are they still protected?
Don’t count on it. The shots you got for the last flu season could provide you with some lingering immunity against this year’s flu viruses, but there’s no guarantee. If your children had two doses of the H1N1 shot, there may be some residual effects, but no one knows how long that protection can last.
According to the latest guidance issued by the Department of Public Health, physicians should administer the trivalent flu shot this year. This 2010/2011 seasonal flu vaccine will offer the coverage provided by last year’s separate H1N1 shot as well as protection against two other strains of flu virus -- so you won’t need to get the two separate immunizations you got last year. A single shot will protect you and your children against all strains of the flu virus that are expected to be circulating this coming winter.
Keep in mind that the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that all children and adolescents 6 months of age and older receive the trivalent influenza vaccine this flu season. While your whole family should get immunized, children with high-risk conditions (e.g., asthma, diabetes and neurological disorders) and pregnant women are highest priority. Also make sure that any regular household contacts and out-of-home care providers of children younger than 5 years of age get their flu shots.

Always Mom
You were my fairy tale princess, So much larger than life. You were my angel and my witness Through all my pain and strife.
At times you made me angry, Great words I would proclaim How someday you'd be sorry. You were the one to blame.
But when I needed comforting You always found the time. Your words were more soothing Than days of childhood sublime.
Now the distance holds us apart, The boundaries have no end. I'll hold the memories in my heart.You're my mother, my best friend

Mommy and Toddler Groups
One of the ways in which moms continue the all important bonding with their toddlers, as well as having their child experience being with other toddlers, is through mommy and toddler groups.
There are a number of groups which you and your toddler can join. One of which is at a library or checking your local community to ascertain if they have any similar groups you can join. In fact, you may wish to start a group of your own.
You know, bonding with your toddler can also encompass a day at the park -- just the two of you. The nature/nurture experience can extend beyond you and your child, as you take in the greenery, trees and flowers.
For more information about mommys and toddler groups, check your local newspaper to see if there are any groups which you feel you would like to participate in. Mommy and toddler groups can be formed or joined or simply begin with a few neighbors with kids of similar age. |
