My youngest just got one of these in a summer-themed goody bag.
These colorful splash bombs are made for games of catch in the pool. Their squishy texture makes them easy for little hands to grab. Buy a few packs and be the hero at the next pool party.
A set of four splash bombs is $3 at Target.

Any other moms here congratulating older (or not much older) friends on their grandbabies? Yay for my geriatric pregnancies!
My daughter has had a lingering cough (that comes and goes, mostly when she is watching tv or hanging around, not while she sleeps or is really busy or engaged). We saw the doctor and she said it was a “habitual cough” and she saw no signs of asthma. But now my daughter is complaining of chest tightness, and just cannot shake this cough. If i go back to the ped, they have no x ray machine and I assume we would get referred elsewhere for that? Is it even worth going back or should I just start with a specialist? Neither my husband or I have asthma so this is all very new to me.
How are you seeing screen addiction crop up in your family? For us, it’s using our phones every time we take a break to pee and/or being glad to sneak a few minutes on it even though it’s not urgent (my husband and me), using phones to look up dumb stuff no one cares about instead of engaging during a family visit (every Boomer relative), texting while driving (my brother), and giving young children tablets for the ENTIRE meal or car ride (my sister). It’s really striking to me how much we have ALL changed since the advent of the iPhone. It is affecting every generation and every family moment. The Boomer part is the most surprising – I would have thought they would be more insulated from the addictive effects because of a lifetime of practice without screens but to use my own father as an example, he’s constantly looking stuff up instead of just talking to those around him. My sister has the same complaint about her in-laws – they say they want to see the kids and even when the kids are screen-free and ready to engage, they aren’t.
