soapbox

It’s pretty much all babies all the time over here.

1. When you put a diaper on, make sure that you don’t stretch the velcro over her arm to permanently affix it to her side. Funny yes, nice no. It’s just a good thing the diaper doesn’t use pins or her whole arm would be pierced.

2. A question: if you’re making a montage of photos to go out in a birth announcement, is it a bad thing to select photos based on how much the baby looks like Bill the Cat? (Of course, more like Bill the Cat means more likely to be included in the montage.)

3. We bought a stroller yesterday that cost more than some used cars. I think it might be a sign that something is wrong when you have to search for a 2007 model stroller to save money over the newer 2008s. They aren’t actually cars! Well, somewhat like cars in that the metal European ones drive much nicer than the half-plastic American ones.
