Random Thoughts
I have a couple ideas for posts I want to write, but they’re going to be fairly long and involved, and there’s no time for that these days. Additionally, I’ve had a bunch of random things pop into my head that I want to mention to people, but that couldn’t really be a whole entry onto themselves. So here are a few of things that have been on my mind lately, in no particular order:
Why do they put pockets on baby clothes? What do the clothes-makers expect the baby will put in the pocket, a baby wallet or baby cell phone?
Why do only women lactate? If you look at it from an evolutionary perspective (or even a creationist point of view if that’s your thing), wouldn’t it be better if both parents could feed a baby? It might interfere with the men going out hunting, but then the women would have more time for gathering or hunting. It just seems like it would be a good way to hedge your bet should something happen to the mother. And it would just be awesome if women didn’t have to do all the breastfeeding.
Do you like coffee? Do you hate to clean your coffee pot? Matthew and I like coffee a lot, but our coffee maker is a pain to clean. Also, with the baby, we’re often unable to be drinking our coffee at the same time, so making a whole pot is a bit of a waste. The other day I bought one of these single cup coffee makers by Melitta. It makes really great coffee (better than our coffee pot I think) and it’s really fast. We waste less coffee this way too. This isn’t meant to be an endorsement or anything, I just really think this works well and wanted to share.
A random picture to go with the random thoughts. Matthew is helping Jocelyn with her tummy-time exercises and watching her roll over.
Matthew looks like he’s helping Jocelyn with her napping exercises to me.
That pockets thing – don’t know but I’ve had the same question!
Yeah, Matt is definitely sleeping there. Don’t let him fool you.
The pockets – it’s definitely the cuteness factor. Picture a tiny pair of denim pants with an elastic waist. Now, the same concept, except the pants have been reworked to perfectly resemble adult jeans in miniature. The “Aww…” goes up, the price goes up, and the environmental impact of a pair of baby pants has also been ratcheted up a notch.
The coffee – how well I remember the early days, when my husband & I would look at each other and comment “You know, I’m kind of starting to like my coffee cold…”
