BABY ALPHABET MAT - COSTCO

Thank you to "Helpful Hinter" Lara (Ava's Mom) for this special savings deal info!

I bought a Baby alphabet mat at Costco Concord this past weekend. They are a great price at $14.99 per 6ft x 6ft mat. We put Baby Ava outside on it and she loved it. Plus, the letters and numbers pop out so that baby can spread out the foam all over the yard.

I looked on the Costco website but I could not locate their image of the mat. Here is a link to an example of exactly what it looks like. (price is different)

I recommend parents wash the foam pieces with soap and warm water before first use.

Thank you to Gaby (Seby's Mom) for sharing her experience and giving a great recommendation for our little one's haircuts!

With Seby's super long hair, I really needed to get him a hair cut and the palo Alto place I saw in the parenting magazine was really a very long drive for a haircut s I searched the Internet and I found a place called cool cut for kids in Lafayette. This is the website: http://www.coolcutsforkids.com/

Seby got a cut, they gave me a certificate with his picture and a little bag with one of his curls as his keepsake and it was all fun, easy and quick so Seby actually enjoyed it. I know hair is not a problem for a lot of babies but if there is a mom who needs a haircut for his or her baby, I definitely recommend this place. Seby, once again, looks like a little boy and hopefully they will not confuse him with a little girl anymore!

Thank you to Nikki (Chloe's Mom) for her recent find about Gymobree Concord!

I've recently joined Gymboree in Concord its amazing classes and free play you can go to as much as 3 times a week. Its 69 a month and they said they will work with you if you have others that would like to join they may waive membership fees or you can email them they will work with you and other moms to make it happen. Just thought you would like that information as an alternative to MyGym, though much thanks to Ali for her work with them too.
