Baby Loves Disco Sat., Sept. 19, 2-5pm: Avalon Nightclub, 777 Lawrence Expwy., Santa Clara www.babylovesdisco.com
Boogie with your baby at this great “Fall into Disco� event organized by the folks at Baby Loves Disco. These afternoon, kidfriendly disco dance parties get little ones on the dance floor, with a dance instructor to teach even the tiniest dancers the old-school dances from the disco era. Parents will have the chance to win H&M gift certificates by donning the bellbottoms and polyester for this disco-themed event. The event will also feature hula-hoops, bubble machines, balloons galore, a chill-out zone, diaper changing station, healthy snacks, face painting, coloring and a live DJ/MC! There’s no excuse not to boogie, baby!
Our KidPick this issue is the sweet and silly Malia. According to her mum, 19-month old Malia has a “silly personality,� as witnessed here by her putting on her father’s shoes. Malia’s mom Dina says she loves to laugh and make others laugh as well, and really loves to read books – one of her favorites being Olivia’s Opposites. Malia has already learned some Mandarin words, including “Xie Xie� which means “Thank You� and “Ye Ye� which means “Grandpa.� She enjoys going to Gymboree class, and loves to dance so much they think she may be a ballerina when she grows up. One of her favorite things is visits from her grandparents – we’re told her energy triples when they’re around! SEND IN AND WIN: Each issue’s KidPick winner receives a $20 gift certificate for Baby Buzz, 1314 Lincoln Ave., San Jose (408) 885-9870 www.babybuzzcafe.com. For your chance to win, email pics of the cute kids in your life to family@thewavemag.com.

Think of this as like a Crossroads Trading Co. just for the kiddie style set. This great store allows parents to save big bucks on popular kids clothing brands such as Gymboree, Gap, Old Navy and more. Plus there’s great deals to be had on toys from big-name companies like Fisher Price and Leap Frog. Great savings are also to be had on those all-important Halloween costumes – the owners have been buying them up all year, and have over 150 costumes to choose from. For first pick, be there at 10am on Sat., 12 September. TW
