The Beautiful Spring
A Poem for Children!
"I was here first," said the snowdrop: "look!"
"Not before me!" sang the silver brook.
"Why," cried the grass, "I've been here a week!"
"So have I, dear," sighed a violet meek.
"Well," piped a bluebird, "don't leave me out! I saw the snow that lay round about."
"Yes," chirped a snowbird, "that may be true; but I've seen it all the bleak winter through."
"I came betimes," sang the southwind, "I!"
"After me, love!" spake the deep blue sky.
"Who is it cares?" chimed the crickets gay: "Now you are here, let us hope you'll stay."
Whispered the sun, "Lo! the winter's past: What does it matter who's first or last? Sky, brooks, and flowers, and birdies that sing, All help to make up the beautiful spring."

Macaroni Safety
Buckle Up!
On November 24th, 2009 NYS law changed making it mandatory for children under eight to be in a proper child safety restraint system, although it is recommended that any child under 4 feet 9 inches tall be using a belt positioning booster of some sort. Most parents believe that installing a car seat is simple, but there are far more things to think to about than just making sure the latch belt is tight. It is estimated that 75% of all child car seats are installed incorrectly or used improperly. Here are a few important things to think about when installing your child’s restraint.
The child seat should not move more than 1” side to side at the base, the area where the seat bottom meets the seat back. Using the latch system and seat belt does not provide extra protection. Studies show that one or the other is sufficient. Utilizing a device such as the Mightytite® may make your car seat snug, but it actually stretches the seat belt and studies have been shown these to cause seat belts to break in an accident making your car seat, and child, a projectile.
It is also important to keep your child rear facing as long as you can. While having the ability to see your child may put you and your child's mind at ease, rear facing seats provide much more head and back support than front facing. To get more information on child passenger safety, or to have your child’s seat inspected, you can contact a local CPST. Visit www.safekids.org to find the nearest CPST in your area. - Chris Dimon, owner of Safe Hampton (www.safehampton.com) and Child Safety Professional

Winter Sun Catcher!
Add a little color to this dull grey winter!
Make color ice cubes by adding 1-2 drops of food coloring to the water in each section of a ice cube tray. The colors will run together in the pan later so use complimentary colors. Freeze the ice cubes completely.
Fill a round cake pound about 2/3 full with water. To make a hole for a ribbon, set a plastic cup full of water in the pan. Place the pan in the freezer for about an hour. Put the colored ice cubes in the pan and let all the liquid freeze completely. Remove the plastic cup, flip the frozen sun catcher out of the pan and hang from a tree branch with a ribbon.
I can't wait to try it!
