Laura is wise.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've gotten most of my prep done. Just need to go to campus tomorrow to make copies, and to finish setting up my gradebook, and a couple of other things. I really need to do laundry, but I think I might leave that until tomorrow, and let my shoulder rest some more today -- laundry is in the basement.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Resting up sounds like a good idea, Hil.
Thank so, Laura. I guess I should prepare myself for many ignorant comments about being a parent with a disability as ltc gets older.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm pretty sure I took Emmett out at a week old. Little old ladies were forever scolding me for taking him out without a hat and generally being busybodies.
He turned out okay despite my negligence.

Thanks, Hec. She was much happier when we were out an about than she has been since we got home. She likes the car and the stroller.

Our wings are not tired.
I was concerned about taking B to work with me to the computer store. Various customers and employees and many people around all the time since we were so busy at the time. Our pediatrician said it was wonderful for the baby both for building immunity and socialization. It all worked out, not that I considered other options.
Somehow the boys still like hanging out with me.

Emmett required a lot of stimulation. I know there's a lot of current conventional wisdom about turning babies face into chest in front packs, but Emmett really thrived with being faced out at an early age and being able to see the world and take it all in.
Let me adapt Jessie's wise words for your current circumstance and I want you to use this as a go-to:
Different babies like different shit.
And you know who the expert is on your baby? You. You and TCG know her better than anybody.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I love the look on babies' faces when every single thing they see is new.
I'm not one one to make arguments based on what is "natural," but this business of isolating children from the rest of the world is very new in human history. I have a cousin whose wife seems to be increasingly isolating their two little ones from all but a few people and from gluten, peanuts and a variety of other worldly "evils," real or Gwyneth Paltrow created. This does not strike me as a good thing.

I'm sure my mother would like it if I kept ltc at home until she is baptized, but since I have no idea when or where that is going to happen, that's not really an option.
