Dear ski lovers, same as I am!

I try to teach that also to my kids. Thought the best learning is hands on learning, so by showing them that sport is fun and demonstrating on my own I believe that once they will love skiing the same as I do.

Nevertheless the question is now, winter is finally starting and I want to go to ski for one day or maybe a weekend with the whole family in a place close by Prague. So I did a quick search on different portals and which places appeared for these possibilities which I want to share with you now:

Tak nejblíž bude asi Chotouň, je to u Jílového u Prahy. Je to malá sjezdovka, jezdí tam hlavně rodiny s dětmi, ale pro ty je to super. Jsou tam dva vleky a dětský svah. My tam jezdíme rádi, je to blízko a ceny příznivé, můžeš si vybrat od hodiny do celého dne libovolně jak dlouho budeš lyžovat nebo mají bodovky.Tady najdeš podrobnosti: http://www.vlekychotoun.cz
Nebo Monínec: http://www.moninec.cz/, cca 72 Km from Prague
Nebo Ještěd, sice je to není zrovna u metropole, ale po rychlé silnici, z Prahy za hodinku. www.skijested.cz
z Prahy na Severák (Hrabětice, nad Janovem nad Nisou), přijde mi to pro děti z daleka nejlepší, co může být…školička, dětský park s koberci a kolotočem….za 1,2h tam jsme…jezdíme na den, i na víkend s ubytkem v Janově, 2km daleko. Parkoviště tam je zdarma. http://www.skijizerky.cz/ski-arealy/severak/
And for those who are still attached to the Austrian alps, there is also nice article with some tips how to enjoy close by Austrian Alps skying with some Czech advantages.
Padák v Příbrami http://www.skipribram.cz/
Skyareal Kozinec http://www.snowhill.cz/kozinec/kontakt?menu=1, cca 132 Km od Prahy

So let see if we will manage this or another weekend since Edie started to look sick today. But I believe that if we do not manage now we will manager later.

SPORTU ZDAR A LYŽOVÁNÍ ZVLÁŠTĚ

So once I will be happy to enjoy as this sporty mom with her sons GOOD EXAMPLE

How to teach your baby to cook?

Cooking and eating with Edie

There is not such a think like that. They are just there with you and if you want to avoid your kids in the kitchen you will be rather punished by them than you will reach your goal.

I can prove easily that Edie loves cooking. I think that he already found the magic of helping in the kitchen. Because it is not work, it is fun and there is always something worth to try, worth to mix, worth to eat and taste. There are always good things as leftovers and you will be never hungry. And you know how funny it is to see him sneeaking close by pots, trying to put his head insight just to see what is insight? And then to hear jeeee, juuuuu, jiiiii his surprised smiling face

I have more fun with him than troubles. He is such a clean boy in his way. If he gets dirty he is looking for a napkin to clean his little fingers. He loves to mix things in the pot and the most be pouring and adding different things into the food.

Look how he was helping me while preparing potato christmas salad. We were like manufacture. I was peeling potatoes and he was kind of smashing them or pushing them through the iron form.

And if you still do not believe me that he likes cooking look how he was helping to cook when we were visiting our AIESEC friends during the New Years time. Edie as a big chef.

And proof of all his likeness of the kitchen adventures and all processes which are happening. There is this short video. Because he likes to eat, without any doubts and look how he can be even mean to me, his mom if he likes something. This is actually soup with little drops/soup dumplings/kapani simply something tasty

And you know what, my simple advice in the end: If you want your baby to learn how to cook. Simply let him participate and make your kitchen a bit dirty and his hands too. He will love it. He will learn the recipes simply by doing. Isn’t it great?

First proper winter of Edie

December 12, 2010 · Filed under kids games, Parenting, sport & activities · Tagged 21 month, Edie, sledge, sliding, snow, winter

Snow snow and again snow

What is good news that Edie likes it. He does not mind about coldness, he understood how much he has to dress and that he has to be protected to be happy in the snow and cold weather.

He enjoys the snow fall. When the little flakes are falling to his face and sitting on his long eyelashes. He is laughing like crazy. I did not realize whether it is tickling him or what. but for me is the most important that our tropical baby enjoys also snow.

And because the weather is changing so fast, I am using every possible time with him to enjoy the winter games. I want to share with you our last trip to grandparents. There were plenty of snow and we could slide on sledge with Edie. Actually for Carlos it was for first time also on this type of sledge in Czech called “Boby”.

Enjoy with Edie his snow play time:
