A Mommy Story

I’m sure Mira is a girly-girl in the making. For example, she has a strange fascination with shoes. Any shoe in our house is sure to be picked up and examined, and if she finds one that she thinks is pretty, she tries to put it on her foot. She loves satin ribbons, jewelry, and feather boas.

And she steals every one of my magazines. Mira watches me read magazines, and has decided she needs to be doing the same. I think she likes the pictures, or maybe it’s the smooth glossy paper. But Self and People aren’t exactly ideal reading for babies – she doesn’t need to start thinking wafer-thin models are the norm and makeup and accessories are a must. I’m also getting tired of trying to read around the half-ripped pages. She always seems to tear out the article I want to read.

Now she can have a magazine designed for her age group. Parent Bloggers told me about Babybug, a magazine designed for children 6 months to 3 years old. I’ll admit I wasn’t sure what to expect, since I didn’t know how a periodical could be designed to interest someone who can’t read or understand that many words yet. But I was pleasantly surprised.
