We spend special playtimes everyday, whenever Azaan is not sleeping & he just loves them. You don't need mobiles or sign languages to make your baby smart. You only need love & a lot of talking & patience. We use little phrases & songs & Azaan responds to them by making weird faces & sounds. You really don't need expensive electronic toys or gimmick boards for brain development, you need to use your imagination. I was a little afraid that I didn't use any of the techniques I saw in other websites or pinterest. But Jian had advanced brain stem functions, compared to other children of her age! Come to think of it, she has a grown up personality & almost always manages to talk herself out of a situation like a pro. So here is to, priceless momma love & sticky kisses.
