Like it or not my babies are growing up on me. My oldest son is a busy High School Freshman who plays on the football team and runs on the track team. My 11 year old son is a busy guy himself with basketball and all his other activities, my only girl will turn 9 in March and is looking older by the second dressed in HipHop costumes and complete hair and make-up for dance competions. Even my babies are getting so big on me.
In fact, my now 19 month old twins are in a major transition phase right now. We are tackling the move from cribs to toddler beds and then we will be working on getting rid of the pacifiers. All this change can be very hard on little ones, extra stressful when it involves two different boys with two different sets of fears, reactions, and needs.
Some things can and should stay the same though. As a Mommy of 5, I've seen how children need a sense of consistency, routine, and stability not just during these transitional phases but during all stages of growth and development. It's very important to stick to things like bedtime rituals as much as possible.
Recognizing that bath time is a common pre-bed ritual in many households. The Suave Kids® Wash Them Grow campaign encourages you to recognize your child's bath time routine as an opportunity to teach, nurture and transition your child through the stages of growth and cleansing. When your child washes with Suave® Kids, you'll experience the joy of milestone bath time moments with every single fun-loving splash, no matter what the stage of childhood.
To kick-off the campaign, Suave Kids® is launched the Wash Them Grow Sweepstakes on January 18, 2010, with chances to win awesome weekly prizes of a Family e-Keepsake Kit (that includes a video camera, laptop and digital camera) and the Grand Prize of a family vacation to Orlando! Simply head over to WashThemGrow.com to play a fun online trivia game and receive an automatic entry into the Suave Kids® Wash Them Grow Sweepstakes.
You can enter daily from January 18th until February 22 and literally watch your baby grow online as you progress through the milestones of clean!
We've been washing all the kids grow recently with 4 great Products sent to us by Suave: Suave Kids Berry Body Wash, Suave Kids Strawberry Body Wash, Suave Kids Free and Gentle Body, & Suave Kids Moisturizing Body Wash (all ophthalmologist-tested and tear-free). Each of the kids seems to have their own favorite. Cordelia loves the Strawberry, Hayden likes the Berry, and the twins are putting the other two to good use.
