First Look: Nintendo DSi XL

If your child is old enough to hold a Nintendo DS, chances are he (or she) loves it. It’s the portable gaming system kids and adults of all ages can’t get enough of. Well, later this month there will be even more to love. Nintendo is coming our with the Nintendo DSi XL, an enhanced version of the DSI everyone already loves.

The first thing you’ll notice is the larger screen. And it’s not only larger, the picture it displays is much clearer. In terms of features, the new DSi XL comes equipped with a digital camera. Once you’ve snapped a pic, you can send email to friends, all from the DSi XL. You can also browse the Web wirelessly and listen to music on it. The new system comes standard with two of our favorite games for children: Brain Age: Music and Brain Age: Arts & Letters.

It’s available for pre-order at amazon.com for $190. We advise you to get on the list now because we’re guessing these are going to go fast.

Christian Dior Baby Bottle: Ridiculous or Really Want It?

As we were browsing the Web today, we came across these Christian Dior baby bottles? As first, we kept scrolling right past them, but then it dawned on us: Christian Dior baby bottles? What?! See for yourself:

So we just had to ask: are these “designer” baby bottles absolutely ridiculous, or do you actually sort of want one? It’s worth mentioning one bottle is $45 and there’s no mention of any venting system or technology that would make these bottles better than others on the market. Maybe they’re hoping just knowing he’s drinking from Christian Dior will keep your little one from getting gassy or fussy.

Tell us if you’d splurge on these bottles in the comments.

And if you actually are in the market for tried and tested bottles, read our guide to the Best Baby Bottles.

Synopsis: Miranda, an ordinary enough sixth grader who lives in New York City in the late 1970s, is obsessed with Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time. When Miranda begins to receive a series of mysterious notes that seem to predict the future, she wonders if time travel is more than just between the pages of her favorite novel. In a clever and unexpected narrative, Miranda begins to unravel the connections between the notes and her everyday life. When she does, she finds there is more at stake than she could have imagined.

Why We Love It: This is a unique, brilliant novel is incredibly touching. If you’re anything like us, you’ll like it just as much as your child.
