I only brought a small bottle and we used it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726950 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:48:00 +0000 Smurfette 1726950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: please do!

He could play in the sand for hours. Last year when we went to the beach he was slow to warm up to it but ended up loving it once he got comfortable with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726940 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:45:36 +0000 cookiemomster 1726940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO quite yet, but our 25month old niece spent the entire week we were at the beach petrified of the sand. If it got on her hands or feet she would whine "it's dirty!" Until someone washed her off. We ended up taking her little kiddie pool out on the beach and filling it with ocean water, and she would stay in that for hours. Highly recommend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726936 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:44:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 1726936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I've just been lazy! I can try it out next week and let you know! It's only sand box sand, not beach sand, but close enough :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726932 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:43:00 +0000 Smurfette 1726932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I am so curious if this works or not. But it on my list to pack come Sept! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726916 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:39:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 1726916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: I remember going to the beach as a kid and our trunk/car being FULL no matter how well we rinsed off! I hear that baby powder gets it off super easily. Haven't tried it myself though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726911 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:38:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 1726911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took her a bit to get used to it! We have a sandbox out back and she likes it now. With shoes (crocs) on. I haven't tried without again yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726845 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:16:41 +0000 JerricaBenton 1726845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loves it. Her favorite thing to do at the beach is dig through the sand and find shells and stones. Maybe try letting him play with a small amount of sand in the yard before going back to the beach. It's difficult for them to walk in too, so maybe that's a source of anxiety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726810 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:05:44 +0000 Smurfette 1726810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know!! She hasn't been around it. I probably should let her experience it before we go to the beach. This Mama is going to be heartbroken if she doesn't like the beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726807 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 10:03:52 +0000 QueensBee 1726807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He absolutely hated it for a long time! We finally spent some time in the playground sandbox this spring with toys and he now enjoys it so our latest trip to the beach was a success (at 15 months). </p> <p>However, right now he only likes DRY sand and will still flip out if we bring him on the wet sand by the water. I'm hoping we can work on that over the summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726428 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 08:35:23 +0000 bisous 1726428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only one day trip to the beach so far but it seems like she loves it! We'll find out for sure as we're headed to the shore for a long weekend tomorrow. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726420 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 08:33:59 +0000 MapleMoose 1726420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to hate the sand. Now I'm a beach bum. :grin: </p> <p>LO seemed to like the sand but we'll see when we spend a week at the beach now that she's a little older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726243 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 07:54:41 +0000 lamariniere 1726243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: yeah, usually he washes his hair every other night, so last night he did not and when I was patting his head this morning I noticed how gross he was. Boys! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726222 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 07:50:42 +0000 petunia354 1726222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Ha! What a fun discovery that must have been this morning :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726199 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 07:42:33 +0000 Ra 1726199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 12-month-old LOVES sand! He is obsessed with his sand box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726185 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 07:34:48 +0000 lamariniere 1726185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid LOVES it. He loves it so much I found sand in his hair this morning and made him take a shower and wash his hair before going to school. I despise it because it gets on/in everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726180 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 07:32:49 +0000 Ocean girl 1726180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 10 months and is cautious but curious with sand. She likes to dig her toes in and pick up handfuls. That said, we've only ever been in sandboxes at the park... She may feel differently when we are at the beach in a few weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-love-or-hate-sand#post-1726174 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 07:30:30 +0000 petunia354 1726174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've taken DS to the beach a few times so far this year and god forbid he steps off the beach blanket. He semi freaks out at just the sight of sand, forget about if there is any on his hands or feet! He is 18 months, for reference.</p> <p>I'm hoping being there next weekend with his older cousins will help break him of his fear. I want to build sand castles!! :silly: </p>
