Weekend Musings: Brainwashing Baby

To All the Mamas-to-Be Out There:

Critical decisions such as sports team affiliations, religion, the baby’s official “Coming Home from The Hospital” outfit, the name and whether to torture the baby with hats with bunny ears should be negotiated with the babydaddy prior to the arrival of your little one.  Otherwise, you will lose all leverage and argument clinchers such as, “I’M the one who just peed her pants from sneezing.  So I should get the final say!”

Trust me.  The incontinence argument is infallible.

I had the good sense and foresight to lock down these decisions months ago, when my belly was roughly the size of Rhode Island and Mr. Candy didn’t have a leg to stand on.  Hence why Miss Skye is now being brainwashed with the attire of MY alma mater:

"Woo-hoo! Go Wildcats!" (Or so my mom makes me say.)

In regards to hats with bunny ears, that is not so much a question of if you should humiliate your baby with a bunny-eared hat, but how many pictures of him in it you should take. You will, after all, need something to break the ice when your son brings home his first serious girlfriend.

xoxo,

Candy

    Miss Skye is good with facial expressions. Have you been watching “I Love Lucy” during your pregnancy?
