Books on toddlers

Do you think it's pointless for me to buy What to Expect the Second Year now that C is going to be 17 months old on Saturday? There is What to Expect the Toddler Years but it's from 1994 and amazon says "a newer version is available" and points to the 2nd year book.

Also, funny - we went to the pool and there was a dad reading "How to Raise Smart Kids for Dummies" would you be reading that out in public? I laughed and laughed.

Re: Books on toddlers

  • Omg that's hysterical! No, I would be reading that in the privacy of um...my bathroom? Cuz I know everyone would make fun of me :pI don't know about the book. I mean, I didn't really even find the first one useful so that could be why I'm not really sure about this one. Nowadays I feel like everything you could possibly need or want to know you can google. I find the babycenter weekly emails are sufficient enough for me. Maybe you can look on eBay for a cheap one?

  • I know! I'm so glad someone else thinks its hilarious, I was beginning to think I was mean or something. 

    Good point, you can Google anything and I do find baby center helpful. I really liked Baby 411 for the first year so maybe Toddler 411. I did buy this book though http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671317741 "The Toddler's Busy Book: 356 Creative Games to Keep Your 1 1/2 to 3 year old Busy"

    Just to see if there are ideas for things to do with him. I'm a nerd. I'll probably give it to my mom since he's there all day.

  • oh i loved baby411. i should mail that to dani now that i think about it. i didn't even know they had a toddler one.

    i should look into that other book. i spend too much $ taking her out on tuesdays and thursdays. LOL  she's bored at home. i created a monster taking her out all the time in the beginning so now she's so damn nosey she needs to see people.

  • Yes, definitely send it to her! I passed mine to either Stacey, Alicia or Whitney, I can't remember!

    Yep, when I'm home every other Friday with him we almost always go to Target in the afternoon and tomorrow will be no different except we're adding in Michaels too. In the morning I try to play outside but our yard is boring and tiny. We just tried out the pool near our house so that could be an option now but that's kind of a pain. I feel guilty he's not around other kids much so something to engage him will be fun. It's supposed to come tomorrow (next day shipping - woot!) - I'll let you know what I think!

  • Z is in the pool at least every other day, the problem is that when we are home I'm attempting to get stuff done around the house (and work. b/c afterall, I'm supposed to he working from home). We still don't get long enough naps (an hr on a good day) for me to do things while she's sleeping. Therefore, we go out and spend $. We usually end up at Target, BRU, and/or Old Navy. It's even been too hot to go for walks consistently so that has sucked. If I liked the beach I could take her there since I live 15 mins down the street but I only do that on vacation :)
