The Baby Pool

Okay, just so we're all on the same page here's how we're going to work the Playful Peanut Baby Pool...

You will be asked to guess THREE things - the baby's sex, the birthdate, and the time.  To win, the first criteria is that you have to match the sex.  THEN you have to match the birthday (or be closest to it) and THEN you have to match the time (just in case we need a tiebreaker).  You have to include your guess for ALL THREE in order to be entered. 

You can post your guesses to our Facebook page, or email them to yourplayfulpeanut@gmail.com. We'll take guesses until noon CST on Wednesday, April 13th.  IF the Peanut Mama happens to go into labour before that (hey, a girl can dream, right?) we'll do a random draw based on ALL entries we've received PRIOR to delivery.

The prize will be FANTASTIC.  I'm feeling a gift certificate coming on...

NOW.  Here's the relevant data (we think, anyhow, feel free to ask more questions :).
-Official due date is April 24th.
-This is baby number 2 for her.  The first one was due May 2.  She went into the hospital to be induced on May 13. She finally had a baby on May 15 (no, that is NOT a typo - I WISH!).
-No braxton hicks, no false labour, no ANYTHING to suggest some fun is on the horizon anytime soon.  Doctor agreed at today's appointment. 
-Peanut Mama is 6 feet tall.  I mention this just because some people feel this gives a woman "more room" for a baby, who therefore won't hurry out.
-Peanut Mama REALLY believes she's having a boy, but her husband wouldn't let her go and find out so she has nothing to go on but her gut instinct.  :)

I will post some photographic proof, but blogger doesn't seem to want to do it right now.  I'll maybe try the Facebook page too.

So, get those guesses in!

I Spy THE ALPHABET Bag on Glimpse Reviews!

I Spy Bags are the coolest kid toy going, in my opinion.  I love that they grow with your kid - first you hold the list and read out things for them to look for, later they can do it on their own.  If you have a couple of kids, you can easily turn it into a race (and the best part is that it's the perfect combination of skill and chance so the younger one sometimes comes out ahead!).

Well to us, there's nothing better than taking the coolest kid toy and making it cooler.  Or making learning fun.  That's exactly what the new I Spy THE ALPHABET Bag does!  Instead of searching for objects, your kids can search for letters.  Then take it to the next level - ask them to think of a word that starts with that letter.  Or give them a word and have them tell you the first letter and look for it.  The possibilities are endless (can you tell we're pretty excited about these toys?!).  Greatest. Car. Toy. Ever. 

But don't just take our word for it - see what the folks behind Glimpse Reviews have to say.  And while you're there, drop them a line and you could win an I Spy THE ALPHABET Bag for yourself!
