Just Thinkin'

Nile let me sleep in until 8:52am this morning, so I woke up feeling fresher than usual. I headed to the other room to change his diaper and became engaged in an annoying struggling with all the snaps on his PJs. As if trying to do up 100 snaps on a squirming baby's pajamas isn't tough enough, it always seems like once I get them all done up I realize that one of the snaps (usually at the very bottom towards his toe) isn't snapped up to it's proper companion, meaning I have to undo the whole thing and start over.

Anyway, as I was going through this wonderful routine this morning, I thought to myself, who the hell designs these things? And then I thought, next time a mom-to-be asks me for any advice I'm going to tell them not to buy any baby clothes with buttons or snaps. Just stick to zippers. Snaps aren't worth the grief.

And then I started thinking that it would be fun to compile a list of similar observations from everyone here at BHN. The list could be fun to give to future pregnant friends or make into some kind of a baby shower card or something, or just to amuse ourselves with our infinite and obscure knowledge.

Which leads me to my point - This post is a call out to all you mammas to send me your gems of useful information, advice and observations about parenting. We are all experts, afterall. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering (obviously, since my contribution is a snaps vs. zippers epiphany).
