And the winner is…Stacy L., South Tampa!
Congratulations Stacy on winning the Baby News Bits raffle for the adorable children’s book Marley’s Treasure. Check the homepage soon for the next Baby News Bits free raffle!

The Little Gym
Tumbling to South Tampa
Open enrollment has begun! The Little Gym's professionally developed non-competitive classes in gymnastics, dance, karate, sports skills and cheerleading offers a fun way to involve children in sports. Their teaching style not only improves children’s' flexibility, rhythm and balance but most importantly, their self esteem and confidence. Children learn you don’t have to be the best, just try your best. Classes available for Parent/Child (4 mo – 3 yrs), PreK (3 to 6 yrs) and Grade School (6 yrs to 12 yrs). And, just in time for summer, “Anytime Summer Camps” where children can attend half-day camps that focus on a different weekly theme, sometimes with special guests (for ex., for Hero week, they will have fireman or police officers visit). The best part? You can pay for the day or the week, whichever you prefer. Purchase nine days and get the 10th free. Call today for a free trial Little Gym class. Some classes are almost full. www.TLGSouthTampaFL.com

[meet. greet. sit.]
connecting moms & sitters
If you have been itching for a great sitter and don’t know where to look, then do we ever have an event for you! Meet. Greet. Sit. is an innovative mixer designed to connect parents with high school, college and adult sitters. Baby News Bits currently has 20 sitters registered for this event and we recently joined forces with College Nannies and Tutors, a local nanny and babysitting agency that provides screened sitters, so 10 of their top sitters will now be involved too! All of the sitters can’t wait to see if they are the perfect fit for your family. Registration includes participation in the event, babysitter resume book and tips for picking a sitter. Reserve your spot now through our homepage--there is only room for 30 parents! Event is May 10th from 10-12 at Good Shepherd Church’s Driscoll Hall on Dale Mabry Highway. Parents, click here to register.

W.A.T.C.H.
World Against Toys Causing Harm
If there is one thing that parents have learned over the course of the past year, it’s that there needs to be more oversight when it comes to the toys children play with. Enter W.A.T.C.H., a non-profit corporation dedicated to protecting children from harmful toys. W.A.T.C.H. was developed in the 70’s by an advocacy lawyer who investigated toy companies on the behalf of clients and even Congress. This informative website has tabs detailing general toy hazards, ‘report card’ which rates new toys on the market and perhaps the best feature, their picks for the ‘10 Worst Toys’ list (my son had the Diego Rescue Boat---scary!). Check out this site NOW and make sure your little ones don’t have any harmful toys in their toy box. www.toysafety.org
