Well these plates by Boguslaw Sliwinski actually encourage you to break that rule! The transportation-themed designs feature simple line drawings of trains, boats, and helicopters. Organize food into piles on the “train” or on the flatbed of the “truck” before taking your first bite. The kid in you will grab for these plates for every meal!

Our Selves, Other Cells

Photo: lunar caustic Is it any solace to sentimental mothers that their babies will always be part of them? I’m not talking about emotional bonds, which we can only hope will endure. I mean that for any woman that has ever been pregnant, some of her baby’s cells may circulate in her bloodstream for as long as she lives. http://boingboing.net/2012/01/03/cells.html

Infant Vision Development - AllAboutVision.com

http://www.allaboutvision.com/parents/infants.htm By Gary Heiting, OD One of the greatest moments when having a child is the first time your newborn daughter or son opens their eyes and makes eye contact with you. But don't be concerned if that doesn't happen right away. The visual system of a newborn infant takes some time to develop.
Center for Healthy Vision Good Vision Throughout Life Infant Vision:... Babies learn to see over a period of time, much like they learn to walk and talk. They are not born with all the visual abilities they need in life. The ability to focus their eyes, move them accurately, and use them together as a team must be learned.

Learning to See

http://www.childrensvision.com/development.htm Newborns have all the eye structures necessary to see, but they haven’t learned to use them yet. Infants' vision begins to develop at birth. Babies spend much of their early weeks and months of life learning how to see--developing such skills as focusing, teaming their eye movements, recognizing depth, developing eye-hand coordination, and making spatial judgments.

Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood (video)

Dec 7th, 2011 | Category: Latest News | Here’s a great documentary describing how children are studied, dissected and manipulated by corporate entities using all kinds of underhanded methods. Very well produced and touches on many subjects described on Vigilant Citizen. Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car.
In the past few years, a new kind of specialty TV channel has been inserted in regular programming: TV for toddlers. Networks such as BabyTV air shows that were devised for and aimed to children under two. Most parents who have watched these strange, hypnotic shows are amazed by how their babies are mesmerized by them. http://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/no-tv-for-children-under-2-doctors-group-urges/
