I'm not a PJ person also, so that's my very first set of coordinated PJs - bought it because it's so sweet, t shirt material & cheap compared to Marks & Spencers.
yeah, come to think of it - those gowns may be better - easier to change and more comfy provided don't ride up when sleeping at night.
GD learning method
I just collected the GD books from the library last week - so am going thru it now. I'm reading "How smart is your baby" and wondering if any experienced mummies have done the development profile for your babies BEFORE you satrt on the program, and what are the changes/improvements AFTER you have done the exercises?
There's more to GD gentle revolution than flashing cards - there's a whole series of exercises to do/bond with baby from NB onwards. In fact, i find the developmental chart useful - as usual it's a matter of putting in effort and having to train baby.
Some of the aspects of the testing/exercises is similiar to Gymboree play system - which i'm also currently reading - how to use play methods to enhance the learning process.
Sharon,
the books can be borrowed from the library or bought from the GD local distributor, or from amazon.
smurfy/mashy,
At which age did you start the flashcards and what sort of cards did you use? GD NB, english, maths or BOI?
What i really like abt the GD process is that it's actually quite cheap if you DIY yrslf - cos baby learn from everyday/around the house activities. Whatever cards/equipment required can be self made, which beats other learning methods where u have to buy the whole package from the distributor.
the con side is GD method requires a lot of effort on the part of the parent - as got to read widely and understand why we do certain things at certain time and of course to put in effort to prepare the tools as well as effort and time to put in practice.
