Words that touch so deeply...

HE and SHE
By Mandy Howard

He laid quietly, softly breathing, warm and safe.
He lay close enough to her to feel the warmth of her breath.
With his eyes closed he thought of her, and tried to understand her. She was like the whole world.
When he came from the darkness she was the only one he knew.
He recognized her smell, and her voice, and even the way she moved, he was safe with her. She was always nearby, all he ever had to do was call, and she would come, she would hold him close, and kiss him she would make the world feel right.
She rarely went away, for very long, and always came back, so glad to see him.
He lay there quietly and she was so close just the way he liked it. She began to roll away, he called for her, and she smiled.
She rolled back and kissed his forehead softly, "I'll be right back," she promised.
He laid and watched for her return, after a moment he got frightened and almost called for her. Then she returned, and leaned over him, She again kissed his forehead, and smiling she whispered, "It's ok baby boy, Mommy is
here, and she loves you"
He wanted to answer, to tell her his feeling, but he couldn't make himself
understood. He softly curled the corners of his lips and smiled as he struggled for the words. He wanted to make them as sweet and soft as her words, but all that came out was a tiny noise that meant nothing. He wanted to cry out; no matter how he tried he couldn't tell her his feelings.
How would she ever know how he loved her, he tried once more in vain to make the words come out. It was only then that he noticed her smile, at each soft noise he failed to make into a word and each tiny smile he gave her she smiled.
His heart grew warm, and he slowly drifted off to sleep knowing that she
knew what he meant.

Children: Speech Development

From the moment of birth a baby is getting prepared both mentally and physically to produce speech. Either they suck, scream, cry, babble, coo or giggle, they are preparing to speak. All sorts of games intended to imitate different sounds or just to make a noise help them to get ready to start speaking some day.

But the preparation of the organs isn`t sufficient. The development of speaking abilities is closely connected with mental development and communication with the environment and people surrounding a baby. From their birth babies need to be immersed into a language. Words fascinate babies. Speaking to the baby from the very birth is the best way to prepare him to speak. Talk to him, sing him songs, read him fairy tales, play with words,  it doesn`t matter if your baby understands you or not!

Being born a baby has got an ability to speak any language with no exception, but as time goes by they "specialise" in speaking one or several languages he hears.

Initially learning to speak comprises immersion and imitation.

Tips to create the best LOOK ever!

1. Spend some money on the tools
Tools and products are equally as important as the makeup skills that you have. For example, let's say you were using mediocre brushes, mediocre products, and had average skill. Just by improving the quality of your brushes and using richer pigmented products, the application would immediately be better, even without improving your technique. So if you really want to apply your makeup like a pro, do what the professionals do: Use the proper brushes for application.
Here are the eight basic brushes you need:
1. Foundation brush
2. Concealer brush
3. Fluffy powder brush
4. Blush brush
5. Small blending brush
6. Flat eyeshadow brush
7. Precision angle brush
8. Lip brush
Once you have your tools, you need to know how to hold them. Where you hold a brush on the handle affects your control. The closer your fingers are to the barrel (the silver section beneath the brush head), the more pressure you put on the brush head and vice versa. In general, if you want to apply color evenly, place your fingers on the center of the brush handle. Another tip: You can easily turn a fluffy brush into a flat, angled brush by wrapping your hand around the bristles and flattening them.

Paronychia or An infection of the tissue at the side or base of the nail

Some days ago when cutting the cuticle off my fingers I damaged the skin around the nail and carelessly paid no attention to it. Now I understand that I should have at least washed the wound with some antiseptic liquid, unfortunately I hadn`t. And two days later I noticed an abscess at the nail which hurt me much. To tell you the truth I still haven`t seen the doctor. Hope I will not have to.
Here is what I found out and have already done to my finger.
An infection of the tissue at the side or base of the nail is called paronychia. It is quite common in children. Since it is a purulent infection it is better to consult the doctor as soon as possible for only a doctor can assess the situation and prescribe proper medicine.

When the Kid Is Ill: Otitis

Earache is a common symptom in kids. It can easily be treated by correctly prescribed antibiotics. Here are some tips to help cure and prevent otitis given by a French pediatrician Dr Martine François.
What are the symptoms of the disease?
The first sign is earache which is often followed by fever (38.5 - 39 °C). Sometimes the child moans and lacks appetite. He or she can cry at night.
Each time the disease restarts, the same symptoms appear. Thus a mom can easily determine what happens to the kid and take quick action to prevent it. So, coming to the doctor for a consultation she states that her child suffers from otitis.
At what age are children most vulnerable to otitis?
My experience shows that most often babies over 1 month and under 2 years are affected by the disease, but it also rather common in all ages. It is nit a surprise to see a 5-year-old suffering from otitis.
55 % of those fallen ill are boys.
Can the earache be prevented?

Wedding Anniversaries: the 2nd!

The second wedding anniversary is paper in UK and Russia, cotton in the USA and leather in France.
Although the symbols differ, the most common one is paper in most of the countries. Paper is easy to tear and burn thus the meaning of the second anniversary symbol is rather clear - the family life is still very unstable.
This can be easily explained from the psychological point of view. The first two years full of positive emotions and passionate love however reveals lots of unexpected things about the spouses` character and habits. Besides the spouses get around trying to fulfil the plans the have made in their first year together. This process can be crucial for if the hopes and dreams of the first year do not come true than the arguments are inescapable. But if you love each other and do want to overcome all those difficulties you won`t blame your spouse for every fault, just on the contrary you will discuss everything and come to a compromise!
A baby birth is always a happy and one of the most precious moments in every family. In most families the first baby is born in their second year bringing lots of problems and fears. Elder relatives and friends should understand that it is important to support the family, calm them down if it is necessary and help them if is needed.
