Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
HA! But anyplace with capybaras can't be all bad.
eta not actual capybaras, but capybara talk.
I need to stop reading the Urban Baby boards because 1. it makes me feel super rational 2. Then it makes me feel like an inadequate mom. For example: Where does my baby sleep? Often on the floor. Sometimes in a bassinet. Sometimes in a moses basket. Sometimes his crib. Sometimes his swing. Bouncy chair. Wherever he sleeps. Yet other moms are all, "Don't put the baby on the floor!!"
Being able to sleep anywhere is a GOOD THING.
I know. That's why I'm all @@. Or the don't wash the baby in the regular bath tub until he can sit up. Um, whatever. They'd probably be mad that we just take him the shower too, huh?
You just fill up the tub and drop him in?!?!?!?
IOW, yeah, @@.

we did that. helped wash all the gook off of both of us.
I can't imagine showering while holding a baby. How do you not drop the soapy slippery wigglers? How do you wash your hair and self? I can barely do these things while not holding a baby!
I do shower with my 4 year old sometimes now. She likes to have a grown-up shower, but isn't quite there to do it by herself yet.
You just fill up the tub and drop him in?!?!?!?
Well he's got to learn how to swim sometime!
When we had our dog Ginger, an English Bulldog, my brother loved to give her a "bath" by calling her into the bathroom and then taking a shower with her. She loved it.
Some of my co-workers at the bookstore and I all had a geek-out/drool-fest over Viggo Mortensen while we were waiting to leave last night. Two of us were bonding over LotR, and then the other women all started talking about their favorite men from the films, and Viggo won as the hands-down sexiest of the bunch. The guys were all rolling their eyes at us.
flea, the shower is a between baths reality. As in, DAMN what did you just spit up? Let's go in the shower. K is much better at it than I am. She soaps up a washcloth, then I hand him in, then when she's done with him, she hands him back. He REALLY likes the water on him.

He's on the foamy floaty thing. And the water doesn't go past his ears. It's not like we drop him in, then go into the living room for 30 minutes and orders shoes from Zappos. We're with him the whole time.
Well he's got to learn how to swim sometime!
Babies these days are so soft.
