RE: Re: Helmet being too low?/Tort Exercises

[Guest guest]

Zoe is almost 10 months old (8-20-03). I know my wife and I can handle the

streching 15x a day, I'm just wondering about the grandma's being able to do

this. They watch her 3 days out of the week while we're at work.

Hi,

My mom also watches my children while I work. My twins (7 mo.) love Baby Einstein videos. She uses those during the exercises and sometimes he doesn't even complain. Those videos have been a real life saver in the distraction dept.

Thanks,
