So gifting a membership to a streaming platform, co-op day care, a gym, a children's play space, or a service that helps make shopping easier can be the exact thing parents of multiples needs to feel like they can juggle it all.
These are a staple gift for baby showers, and they work perfectly for a second baby, too — especially if the ones from the first baby are worn out or peed on. It can be a safe space to lay the baby down when a parent has to do something with their older child. A bassinet serves the same purpose, but with a smaller footprint. Parents are busy, and every time we add in a new baby, our time decreases and everything we have on our plates seems to grow exponentially.
Gifting second-time parents a service like a meal kit that delivers easy-to-make meals, a cleaning service to come deep clean, or outsourcing for laundry, helps them use that time for self-care or to focus on getting in the rhythm of life with two kids. If an expecting mom is thinking of breastfeeding or pumping, having a hands-free pump will be ideal. That way, she can have her hands free while she cares for her older child or her baby while still pumping. Multitasking becomes critical when families have more than one kid.
Most first-time parents will have a diaper bag, but besides it probably already being wrecked, having a larger one with enough space and pockets for everything we need for two kids instead of one is essential when they welcome Baby No. Think snacks and toys for the older child and a change of clothes for the baby.

Napoleon had been keeping fans updated on the birth and later said : "I'm a Daddy!!!! Still can't believe When he posted another photograph of London and Tabitha, he said : "Thank the Lord for blessing me with these two wonderful gifts! Napoleon joked that London "came out dancing", adding: "Unfortunately 4 Tab more Krumping than Lyrical!
He also spoke to Us Weekly about the birth, saying: "Tabitha was amazing pushing for three hours. Lyrical dance is a studio-based dance style that uses a combination of classical dance techniques from jazz and ballet to tell a story through movement. Hip-hop can incorporate movement from its substyles locking , breaking, popping , and boogaloo to add a different movement quality but conveying emotion does not have to be present as the dance is more about bravado and personal enjoyment.
Lyrical hip-hop is a fluid and more interpretive version of standard hip-hop. It combines the nuances of lyrical dance with the vocabulary and foundational movements found in hip-hop. According to Dance Spirit magazine, what differentiates lyrical hip-hop from standard hip-hop is that dancers interpret the beat differently. However, the movements are smoother and more fluid rather than hard-hitting and, like lyrical dance, emphasis is placed on storytelling and conveying emotion through the choreography.
The term itself is credited to Adam Shankman , a choreographer and judge on the program, who made a comment in reference to a routine choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo to Leona Lewis' song " Bleeding Love ". Some hip-hop purists feel the interpretive and softer approach means lyrical hip-hop is not hip-hop at all. From a purist perspective, dancing to the lyrics would make the choreography linear and too technical. Traditionally in hip-hop, dancing to the beat is essential; lyrics can accent the movement, but the beat is the guiding force for the dancing.
Although Tabitha and Napoleon have a solid career in choreography and creative direction, they spend a significant amount of time teaching classes at dance studios and conventions. They have stated that teaching helps their choreography because it keeps them current on new hip-hop social dances party dances. Over the course of their two-year run, the show received mixed reviews.
For their second show PRiSM they signed a six-year deal which included building a new seat theater in a space that used to house a motion-simulator ride. Tabitha and Napoleon directed both shows. Changes to the original show included a bigger stage, a new set, and added dance routines.
Some members stayed with the flagship show in Las Vegas while the others took the show on limited residencies elsewhere. As such, Jabbawockeez would have much more impact as a featured act in a variety show than it has on its own. The show's original title was Nonsense a nod to the crew's name because, at the time, they lacked a cohesive theme. However, it was Napoleon's idea to change the title to PRiSM since there are seven crew members and when light goes into a prism , seven colors emerge the Luxor hotel is in the shape of a triangular prism.
From that point on, unity and color became the themes of the show [88] and the title was given the backronym Painting Reality in a Spectrum of Movement. PRiSM received positive reviews. Las Vegas Weekly wrote "Those who deride the art of pantomime or breakdancing need to check this show out. It will change your mind.
LVRJ wrote " They seem to have corrected these shortcomings. The show has a cohesiveness that it never had before, good follow-through on ideas, and far more intriguing staging. Over the course of their involvement with the show, they have received mixed reviews. At worst, their choreography has been criticized as "softie hip-hop more like 'hip-pop' ". On the first performance episode, contestants Katee Shean and Joshua Allen performed a D'umo choreographed lyrical hip-hop piece to the song " No Air " by Jordin Sparks.
This routine received positive reviews and was later chosen as a "Judges' Favorite" by judge and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe to be performed again during the finale. Seasons five and six brought less praise for Tabitha and Napoleon. During season five's Top 8 performance episode, Lythgoe commented after a hip-hop routine choreographed by Shane Sparks "It's wonderful to have Shane Sparks back this season. He brings something else I've been a little disappointed with our hip-hop this year.
The most significant criticism came during season six in response to " People are Strange "—a routine about how aliens would attempt to dance hip-hop. None of the judges liked the routine. Lythgoe said the routine placed concept theme over substance dancing. The concept is about a psychologist tWitch who teaches a dancer Alex to let go of his technique and inhibitions and just dance. This is about a ballet dancer doing the most incredible hip-hop If this routine and you are not up for an Emmy with Napoleon and Tabitha next year, I don't know why not.
It's probably one of the funnest, best hip-hop routines we've ever had on this show. On a later episode, Tabitha and Napoleon choreographed a lyrical hip-hop routine to Alicia Keys debut single " Fallin'.
That was absolutely unbelievable, and it was like watching a dance film. The positive reviews continued through the rest of the season. Of Tabitha and Napoleon's " Scars " routine about angry clowns, Lythgoe called the piece "stunning" and Michaels described it as "hip-hop theater".
It's been like home run after home run after home run Instead, it was performed by tWitch and special guest Ellen DeGeneres as a tribute to Alex just before Lauren Froderman was declared the winner of season seven. Season eight brought back mixed feedback.
Early in the season, Tabitha and Napoleon choreographed a lyrical hip-hop routine " Coming Home " about a veteran coming back to his wife after returning from his deployment. The routine generated positive while emotional responses causing both guest judge Debbie Reynolds and resident judge Mary Murphy to cry while giving feedback. Although Tabitha and Napoleon choreographed two of them, she criticized their work while giving feedback on all three.
