Good age for first music concert? topic started on

I'm interested to hear when other parents felt their child was old enough to attend their first music concert (with them)? I'm always sort of surprised when I attend a concert in Austin and see younger children with their parents. So what do you feel is a good age and what was your child's first concert?

Any experience with Children's Learning Adventure in Cedar Park? topic started on

Any parents have their children attending the Children's Learning Adventure center in Cedar Park and if so, how is it going? They are fairly new to Cedar Park (opened in December 2015 I think) so curious if the new teachers and staff are going through growing pains or have it under control.

Any good restaurants in Marble Falls with playscapes? topic started on

We always find ourselves several times a year going to Marble Falls whether it be to Sweet Berry Farms, Walkway Of Lights, or something else. However, we have yet to find a restaurant in Marble Falls that has a playscape for kids. Does one exist?

When I Dream of ABC - by Henry Fisher topic started on

This book is a really funny and cute way to teach your children the alphabet. Each letter in the alphabet is associated with a word that has a unique story. The illustrations are great and the our kids never get bored with the book.

The book can also be a great way to practice memory. After you've read the book a few times, instead of just flipping the pages, have your children say what the next letter is, prior to turning the page, and see if they remember the word that starts with that letter.

Summary:
When I dream of ABC will take children on a magical journey of discovery and will help them to learn the alphabet as they meet the inhabitants of an enchanted dreamworld.

An example is, "W is for Witch." "Witches have terrible eyesight and spend all of their time flying on brooms. Because of this, their kitchen floors tend to be rather messy."

Time: 10-15 minutes.

Don't chew with your mouth open topic started on

I told our daughter of 3, who was obnoxiously chewing with her mouth open, to please chew with her mouth closed.

Her response, "Hey, just worry about eating your own food."

We haven’t went to a planet yet topic started on

We were driving with our 3 year old who stated, “We haven’t went to a planet yet.” This came to our surprise, as we didn’t know she knew what a planet was. Here’s how the rest of the conversation went.

Dad: “Which planet do we need to go to?”

Daughter: “The big one.”

Dad: “But we’re already on a planet, the planet Earth.”

Daughter: “No Dad, we’re in a car.”

Dad: “Yes, but the car is driving on the planet.”

Daughter: “No Dad, the car is driving on wheels.”
