Everyone in my family is so excited. My brother is getting married. We have already orderedparty invitations to be printed. There was so much fuss on the design and language of invitations. We wanted it to be unique, like other arrangements that we are doing. I have bought seven dresses for various events during the wedding. So has my elder sister. My mother is getting hyper regarding wedding arrangements:)

Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has found there is no use of giving over the counter drugs to your kids if they suffer from cold or cough. The common cold and cough drugs sold over the counter are doing no good in improving your kid’s health. In fact they can induce certain side effects in children like hallucination, drowsiness etc. I am always wary of the drugs sold as cold remedy. Not only in kids, even with adults also, cold is one disease which goes away on its own. Like my daughter’s pediatrician says,” If you take medicine, the cold will be gone in a week and if you don’t take medicine you will be well in seven days.” You can read more about the effects of cold and cough medicines on kids here.

I think teeth are the most neglected part of the body, considering how much we use them and how visible they are to us. Every time someone takes a picture of us, we readily paste a big smile on our face, showing our white teeth. But are they really white. Years of neglect first affect the whiteness of the teeth. Then comes the plaque, which results in tooth decay. Pale teeth can be fixed by bleaching which can be done at home. But its better to visit a professional like San Diego California cosmetic dentists.
Brushing teeth is a habit which should be cultivated in children from a young age. Parents should see to it that the child is brushing her teeth at least two times a day. Better still they join them during brushing process, making it a fun activity.

A nursery school offers a child many advantages which are difficult to obtain elsewhere. It provides him with carefully planned activities which are tailored to his interests and abilities. As he experiences success in performing the given activities, his confidence grows and his self-image blossoms. Through play with other children, he learns to cooperate towards common goals and develops his sense of understanding of others’ point of view. And when cooperation turns into conflict, he learns how to deal with the frustration, anger and hurt feelings.
These preschool experiences are valuable in preparing him for tougher situations in the regular school. Nursery school is also good for a child because for the first time she learns to be under the supervision of someone other than her parents. It also provides the child a routine of loosely patterned, purposeful activities in contrast to the unplanned and spontaneous activities that prevail at her home and in her neighborhood. This pattern of play slowly changes under the watchful supervision of her nursery school teachers- from playing alone to gradually increasing social interactions with her peers. The child learns a new way of life that she has never known before.
A good nursery school also provides space and equipment suitable for a child’s needs and as well as for his physique. The nursery school is also a great relief to the mother who can have a few hours of freedom from the constant demands of her child. Young mothers are sometimes prone to nervous breakdown after spending twenty four hours a day with a small child, seven days a week. The child’s entry into a nursery school provides her with some much needed respite.

My daughter went to school happily and there was no crying or running after me. Today I went to pick her up after one and a half hour. She was playing in the toy kitchen and she was a bit sad that I had come so early! Now that’s something new. Ananya used to fear going to school when we were in India. She will cajole me to let her stay at home.
I wandered the streets of Edinburgh for over an hour till it was time to get Ananya. I observed various buildings, posters, and statues. There was one poster of Anoretix, whereas an inn had a very unusual lamp on its two entrances. I am thinking of taking camera with me from tomorrow.
