Watching Baby Einstein Video

  There is nothing that gets the boys attention faster and calms them down more then putting on a Baby Einstein Video. They are not only very focused, but they laugh and smile at times while watching as well.  And Max had his glasses adjusted so that they stay on better, so we’re back to […]
