Outdoor Fun, Lots of Learning
Brave the Heat and Have a Ball with Your Toddler!
By Rachel Bauman
It's also a good idea to have a first-aid kit handy. Here are some suggested items:
- Sterile gauze
- Tape
- Scissors
- Band-Aids
- Antibiotic ointment
- Aspirin and/or Tylenol (Acetaminophen)
- Money for a pay phone (or a charged battery for your cell phone)
- Emergency phone numbers
- Extra car key (in case you're locked out)
Always keep your first-aid kit stocked. The best way to be worry-free is to make sure you restock right after you use something.
The bottom line? Get out of the house! Your toddler will thank you for it with a changed mood and those sweet smiles that make you melt. You'll be refreshed and able to deal with the rest of the day with a lot more energy and positive thinking.
