Perfect for kids room

Transform any room in minutes with RoomMates peel-and-stick decals -- the easiest, fastest, and most affordable way to decorate any room or flat surface. Bring the action and adventure of Disney Pixar's Cars, Disney Princess Royal into your child's room with these colorful wall decals, which includes all your favorites -- Lightning McQueen, Mater, Doc Hudson, and more. Printed on clear material for a stenciled look, these wall decals are recommended for use on white or light colored walls.

The decals assemble easily, just like a puzzle, and each of the pre-cut elements can be moved around at any time without damage. Because they never leave behind any sticky residue, RoomMates wall decals can be easily repositioned as often as you like without any damage to your walls.

RoomMates wall decals are non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals like phthalates and lead. They are fully CPSIA-compliant, and have undergone many rigorous safety and flammability tests.

You'll find hundreds of affordable peel-and-stick wall decal designs -- suitable for every taste and every room in your house -- including kids' themes, characters from movies, comics, and TV for fans of all ages, college and professional sports teams, seasonal designs, and home decor designs from country to urban chic.

What Makes RoomMates Decals Different?

RoomMates does wall decals differently from traditional stickers and wall decals, which use a sticky backing that bonds to paint or smooth surfaces. When you try to remove these traditional decals, some of the sticky residue is left behind, and you may even pull up some of your wall's paint when removing decals.

RoomMates wall decals use a special adhesive that grips the wall tightly but doesn't form a bond, so that it lifts easily without damage or remaining residue. And you'll be able to remove and reposition your wall decal without reducing its adhesive grip.

Easy to Apply

RoomMates wall decals arrive printed on one or more sheets and packaged in a protective plastic shell. Unfold the sheets and spread them out on a flat surface. Peel the first wall decal from the sheet, bring it to the wall, and slowly smooth the decal from top to bottom while pressing firmly. If you need to reposition the decal, simply peel it away from the wall and re-apply it. When you're finished, it's a good idea to keep the liner sheets and packaging so you can remove wall decals and store them away for later use.

You can stick RoomMates wall decals on just about any smooth surface, including walls, ceilings, doors, windows, mirrors, furniture, chalkboards, window shades, and desks -- even vehicles. Just make sure the surface is smooth to the touch and that it's fully cleaned before applying the wall decal. Don't apply wall decals to unfinished wood, rugs, fabrics, clothing, or other textiles as the fibers can render the adhesive ineffective very quickly.

If your wall has been recently painted or wallpapered, you should wait at least two weeks before applying. If you apply RoomMates wall decals before the paint or wallpaper has completely cured, they may curl, peel, or fall off entirely (and possibly take some of the paint or wallpaper off of your wall).

Tips for potty training success

It sounds like a dream or a gimmick, doesn't it? The idea that your child could get comfortable using the potty in a few days – or even one afternoon – may seem unbelievable to parents expecting potty training to be a lengthy and difficult process.

Would you please to try 3 days potty training...........maybe it can help your baby love pee or poop into potty .

On day one of potty training:

Get up with your child as soon as he wakes up. For the rest of the day, have him go naked below the waist.

You and your partner spend the day taking turns watching your child for signs that he needs to pee or poop. When he starts to go, whisk him to the nearest potty.

Throughout the day, have everyone eat salty snacks or foods with high water content and drink a lot of liquids so they have to pee often.

Any time you or your partner needs to use the bathroom, take your child in with you. Demonstrate how you pull down your pants and underwear, sit on the potty, pee or poop into it, wipe yourself, pull up your pants and underwear, flush the toilet, and wash your hands.

Celebrate your child's success any time he gets a "hit" on the potty – meaning that some amount of pee or poop, even a few drops, goes into the potty rather than on the floor. When this happens, do your potty dance. You can also give praise, high-fives, and so on.

After ten to 12 hits, kids usually get it and start to use the potty independently.

If your child has an accident, don't say, "It's okay." Instead, say in a mildly disappointed voice, "Poop/pee goes in the potty," and help your child clean it up by placing your hand over his. But don't yell at him or shame him for having accidents: They will happen.

Before nap time and bedtime, tell your child it's time to go potty (never ask your child, because he'll usually say no). Put a diaper on your child before he goes to sleep, unless you feel confident that he'll remain dry.

On day two of potty training:

Follow the instructions for day one. The only difference is that on day two you can all go outside together for one hour in the afternoon. Wait until your child pees in the potty, then head out immediately.

"You want to link using the potty with getting to leave the house," Parents says. This way you can "train your child to pee on command" before you go out.

When you go out, have your child wear loose pants with nothing underneath – no diapers, training pants, or underwear. Your goal is to make it out and home accident-free, without having to use the potty while you're out, but bring spare clothes in case you're not so lucky.

Parents advises sticking close to home and not going in the car. Take a walk in your neighborhood (even just around the block) or head to a nearby park. Bring a portable travel potty with you, in case your child says he needs to go while you're out, but that's fairly unlikely at this early stage.

On day three of potty training:

Follow the instructions for day one, but on day three your family can go out for an hour in the morning and another hour in the afternoon. Each time, have your child use the potty just before leaving the house.

Again, when you're out have your child wear loose pants with nothing underneath. Bring your travel potty and a change of clothes.

I hope parents will be pleasure when reading that tips. Your baby will love pee or poop into potty. Besides that, parents should choose some pretty potty for your baby, it makes them more interested on it like :

WHAT A AMAZON FIRE PHONE !!! Amazon Fire Phone 3D features

Amazon Fire Phone 3D features

The Amazon phone screen has an interface called Dynamic Perspective to adjust the a 3D image on the screen to match users' head position. Lockscreens and wallpapers have a 3D effect, though that's not all.

Bezos demonstrated on stage how the device could render a building on a map in 3D. The building - the Empire State, to be exact - looked like it was coming out of the Amazon phone's screen, and moved as the user moved.

Neatly, in maps, you can tilt the phone to see what's "tucked" information that lives on another layer, like Yelp ratings and reviews, and see under and around edges.

Neatly, in maps, you can tilt the phone to see what's "tucked" information that lives on another layer, like Yelp ratings and reviews, and see under and around edges.

The fun doesn't stop there. Fire Phone also lets you one-handed tilt through a line-up of items you may be shopping for, like women's dresses, in the Amazon Shopping app. You can also auto-scroll through an article, a web browser or ebooks, and tilting in Amazon Music reveals song lyrics.

And Dynamic Perspective seems acutely tuned to games, making the images you see on screen pop out and forcing you to manoeuvre around them just by moving your head.

Dynamic Perspective is good at recognizing what's a human head and what's not, and there will even be an SDK for the feature so app developers can 3D-ify their games and offerings.

Bezos explained onstage in Seattle that in the early days of the Fire Phone, Amazon went so far as to make its own headset to emulate 3D effects. That's not really practical for real-life, Amazon concluded, which is perhaps a little jibe at Google Glass.

To solve the 3D issue, Amazon did indeed stick four front-facing cameras on each corner of its phone. No matter what angle it's being held at, two cameras will always be facing the user, Bezos claimed. They are of the infrared variety - ultra-low power, Amazon swears - so they work in darkness.

The Dynamic Perspective system also relies on four infrared LEDs on the front to compliment the cameras.

More Amazon Fire phone features

The Amazon phone is full of little touches, like swipes, to make it easier to use. Bezos and Co. seem very keen to make the Fire Phone as user-friendly as possible, probably hoping to keep their customer satisfaction rankings cozy in their No. 1 slots.

Following in line with the Kindle tablets, the phone features a dedicated Mayday button to connect to customer support. It will work over Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G, and is free.

Because video is so tied to the Amazon experience, the company has included a number of video features with its first handset. IMDB's X-Ray is headed to the Fire Phone, and Second Screen lets uses Miracast video from their Fire phone to their Fire TV. ASAP, another Fire TV feature, is also making it to its phone-y cousin.

The Kindle Store, Audible, Kindle Newstand and the recently purchased Comixology are accessible on the phone.

Taking advantage of Amazon's digital content library, the Fire provides "instant access" to over 33 million songs, apps, games, movies, TV shows, books, audiobooks and magazines. Prime members will get unlimited streaming access to movies and TV episodes at no extra chard. The same sort of deal applies to Kindle Owners' Lending Library and Prime Music members.

An enhanced carousel features "active widgets" that show you the last several messages, emails or alerts in your various communication and organization apps.

The info pops up right on the home screen and users can deal with it without ever wandering away. Third-party apps can come up with their own uses; USA Today flashed headlines that are relevant to a user while Zillow popped up property information based on location.

The Music app features a "three-panel design," with the left for navigation, the center for various controls and the right with lyrics.

Amazon Fire Phone Firefly

Amazon also unveiled something called Firefly. By pressing and holding a dedicated button, the Fire Phone can recognize printed phone numbers, email and web addresses, business cards and much more. Firefly even works at a distance, so you can capture a phone number on a sign from across the street, for example.

The idea is to be able to send an email, make a call, save a contact or go to a website without having to type it all into your phone.

It doesn't stop there though; Firefly can also recognize songs, TV episodes, art, magazines, movies, music, QR codes and bar codes. iHeart Radio and StubHub build their own apps with the Firefly SDK to make it easier for customers to start a new radio station or find concert tickets.

Users can pull up info on items like books or a painting, potentially making it a handy information tool.

By the numbers, Firefly recognizes 245,00 movies and TV episodes, 160 live TV channels and 35 million songs. It can supposedly ID 70 million items (over 100 million all told), such as books, DVDs, video games and CDs, and even work around issues like folds, glare and curves. Users can then read product details for these items, add them to their Wish List, and order them on Amazon.com.

Firefly

With the Firefly SDK, developers can build apps that recognize real world objects - QR and bar codes, artwork, songs, movies and more - and let customers interact with them. Firefly combines Amazon's deep catalog of physical and digital content with multiple image, text and audio recognition technologies to quickly identify over 100 million movies, TV episodes, songs and products. It can also recognize URLs, email addresses and phone numbers. Customers simply press the Firefly button to discover helpful information and take action in seconds. You can use the Firefly SDK to supplement item identification or build actionable options for customers after an item is recognized. For example, iHeartRadio used the Firefly SDK’s built-in music recognizer and music database to identify a song playing. Then they built their own Firefly action to create a station based on the song Firefly recognized. Learn More.

How your baby exploring the world...............

Right around now, your child is becoming quite a pointer. Few items seen during your daily routines escape his little thrusted finger, and as your baby points, he likely says, “What’s at?” Now you might think doing this is just his way of learning the names of various things: clock, car, sock, plate, pencil, vase, pillow, and so many, many more.

Brain scientists call this phenomenon the cognitive triangle; the points of the triangle include you, your baby, and an object. Researchers discovered this pointing ability by doing nothing more than observing and videotaping children at about 12-months old. 

For example, a child sees a fly on the window: She folds her thumb around her pinky, ring, and middle fingers while extending her index finger toward the fly, and then looks at her parent. Even when the child does not explicitly ask for information, you can see the question written all over her face. The parent just knows to say, “That’s a fly.” 

Learning is more efficient now that your child’s brain allows her to process information she receives from her surroundings and from you, simultaneously. She doesn’t have to learn all about dogs and clocks and tractors on her own: She now relies on your input to help her figure out her world.

Later she’ll acquire more skills to further pull you into this learning picture. She’ll want you to demonstrate or explain how things work, and around age two and a half, the “why” questions begin. Can you even imagine how brilliant your “baby” will be by then?

Baby bottle warming: keeping bugs at bay

With the busy lifestyles led by most new parents, providing warm expressed breast milk or infant formula quickly, and often while you’re not at home, can be a bit of a challenge.

There is a range of options for warming your baby’s bottled milk – whether it’s the tried and true sitting the bottle in a container of boiling water, commercial bottle warmers, or microwave ovens (not recommended, particularly for breast milk).

Whichever method you choose, it’s important to do it safely so you don’t burn baby’s mouth or allow the transfer and growth of bugs that cause tummy upsets. Some bugs can make your baby extremely sick. Signs of foodborne illness to watch out for include: vomiting, fever, irritability and crying, not wanting to feed, or frequent dirty, runny nappies. Powdered infant formula is not sterile, so you should take particular care and follow label preparation instructions closely.

Babies who are pre-term, low birth weight, or who have an illness or condition that means their immune system is weaker than normal are most at risk from harmful bacteria. You should talk to your doctor or lead maternity carer about specific feeding advice.

For all babies, but especially those under 3 months of age, it is very important that caregivers are scrupulous about hygiene when making, storing and feeding infant formula or expressed breast milk.

So I would like to share to you all the baby bottle warning of the First Year...to keep your baby healthy...

About The First Years
Part of the Learning Curve brand, The First Years knows that what matters most to parents is keeping their children happy, healthy and safe. That's why the company strives to develop innovative products for every stage of a child's development--from feeding to playing to sleeping. The First Years products feature enduring and instantly recognizable characters from Disney and Sesame Street to engage children, and their travel gear, bibs, toys, collectibles and hobby and infant products provide both parents and children with a safe and comfortable play time, bath time and nap time. 

Designed for use from birth, the Quick ServeBottle Warmer from The First Years lets you warm bottles and baby food more accurately and with more consistent temperatures. The compact design and contemporary styling complements any kitchen or nursery counter or table top, and the safe, user-friendly design saves time so your hungry child doesn't have to wait to eat.

Fast, Convenient Heating

The Quick Serve heats any bottle instantly, whether it's straight, angled, wide-necked or disposable (glass bottles, however, should not be used). Once baby starts eating solid foods, you can also use this unit to warm a jar of baby food. An included basket for baby food jars and graduated water droppers keep things neat and organized, while the easy-to-read grid allows for effortless measuring.

Safe Steam Heat
The Quick Serve takes the fear and guesswork out of warming, so you won't have to worry about inconsistent temperatures or the loss of precious nutrients. By utilizing steam heat to warm bottles or jars, this warmer eliminates the possibility of hot spots and unlike microwaves, preserves the nutritional value of the liquids and foods it heats. For added safety, the auto-shut-off button ensures that you never leave the unit on too long or risk overheating milk or baby food.

User-Friendly Design and Operation
The Quick Serve is easy to use--just plug in the unit, add water, slip in the bottle or jar, and press the "on" button. Five minutes later your formula, milk or baby food is warm and ready. If you need to immediately heat another bottle or jar, simply wait 10 minutes to allow the heating element to cool off, and you're ready to go. And for added peace of mind, it also comes with a 90 day limited warranty.
