It takes a lot of beans to make a bubble bath......oh, wait, that's not the kind of bubble bath you meant, was it?


Caring for the little one? Isn't that what duct tape is for?!!

I alternate between being relieved OT (and not me)is at home with Altoid all day, and being jealous.
Its magical, and tiring!

Who has time for a bubble bath when there's a baby to interrupt?

a bubble bath with Altoid! i'm sure that has to be a blast!!! :D

... i have a feeling it would be a weekEND thing as opposed to a weekDAY thing.

We still have Beemer's former cage......hmmmm......it's certainly big enough(round, 30" diameter, 6.5' tall)........it ought to hold her at least until she's 11 or 12......especially if we lock her in......

Thanks, *igJon! :D

PS. Stay tuned for future photographic evidence.

Well, I suppose it's different strokes...

I'm glad you are enthusiastic about your work, although my adolescent experiences in babysitting certainly helped me make up my mind about parenthood before it was too late.

I was none too fond of babysitting. This seems to be quite different. Go figure.

I've always enjoyed babysitting. . .and I know you are all aware of my feelings of motherhood (sigh, still two years to go until we reach our agreed time).

Babysitting is fun because you get to give the kids back when you're done. . .and they are usually better for the babysitters than they are for their parents, as long as you make them think they're having fun!

My brother in law riles up his grandkids and gives them back to his children as payback. What else can you say.....

My mom was on the verge of giving me airfare to China when OT and I "got our act together".

Saxy - is that two years til product delivery or two years before you begin initial feasibility?

Piq! LOL! My mother would like it to be two years to product delivery, but my husband is insisting that it's two years until we proceed to place the order. I am ready to place our order now, but I am sure that our cats are much more pleased that they get to remain the sole "children" for two more years.
December 2006 is our ordering date, supposedly, unless other factors intervene before then. It was really important to Sean that we have a lot of time together before beginning a family, especially since we were married so young.

It never hurts to stay in practice when it comes to filling out the order form!

Endless nights of practice, practice, practice.

Somehow, it never gets stale, does it?

Practice makes perfect. I'm far from perfect, so I guess I need LOTS more practice...
