Toy blocks are far from old-fashioned. While they have been a traditional toy for many generations, blocks offer so many benefits that they continue to top wish lists for parents and children alike.Babies and toddlers often enjoy soft blocks that are easily grasped and land more gently when they tumble.

This happened to me when I was expecting child number four. I had just walked out of the bathroom waving the wand in the air to show my husband. I had no clue that my kids had walked into the room until I heard them screeching I was pregnant. Oops. Their Reactions Don't be shocked if at first your child acts distant, many children will respond to the news in their own way. One of your children may even start to pretend to be pregnant right along with you, mimicking everything you do. While another child may tell you they don't want you to bring home a new baby.
