Frozen Treats

So Vivi just fell off the bed head first playing on the pillows. I was right there so I  scooped her up while she was screaming “huggies mommy, huggies” followed by  (in between tears and sniffles), “I need band-aid, I need cookie monster band-aid.” I checked all limbs, head and her mouth. I ask her where she needs her a band-aid and she points to her mouth. I check it and nothing major, maybe a cut on her gum. So I get her the cookie monster band-aid which she grabbed from me a said, “I do it myself.” As I watch her put the band-aid across her whole mouth I can’t help but laugh and take a picture. She murmers something that sounds like “I can’t talk.” mmmmm…maybe I should give more band-aids?

Ok so she hurt her mouth and ice was out of the question as she never lets you put it on her. I remembered my mom just bought her TwiStix ice pop molds that we had filled with OJ. I got one out and she loved it! No more tears, ice on her mouth just in case…great solution! She started eating it and said “it’s so good” (a new phrase for her). By the end she figured out that if she twists the bottom she can get the ice pop to move up hence getting to taste the froze juice more. Then she said “not twinkle star.” Which reminded me of the other frozen treat we have for her, a silicone ice tray in the shape of stars. The two big starts have a straw you can freeze into them like a wand or can be used in a drink. Very cute. Vivi loves them although she did have a few meltdowns when the stars melted as she didn’t understand the concept of melting ice yet. For injuries or just frozen fun both these products are good to have around. Both are safe for hand washing or dishwashers.
