Toddler milestones are as photo-worthy as they are fraught with peril. Enter The Bossy Baby Chronicles, a new line of personalized
books and reward charts launched in August by Chicago mom Alexis Tande, an art director whose brainchild came from experiences with her own two adorable (yet occasionally bossy) kids. Currently, the product line is aimed toward potty training, starting preschool, and heading off terrible toddler behavior. For instance, in the “Behave” book, the child is taught not to throw food and to listen. (Both important lessons that need reinforcement in my house at the moment!) Better yet, each book is tailored toward boys or girls and can be customized with the child’s name. The line of reward charts and stickers helps them achieve good behavior goals and is also customizable.

The full line is available at bossybabychronicles.com — books are $25, charts are $10. Use code PINWHEEL15 for a discount on purchases through Oct. 31st.
