ClothDiaperFashionista's Profile

I just hosted my friend's baby shower and one of the "games" was to guess what the sex would be (the parents were waiting until the birth to find out) and to suggest a name. Throwing a whole party around your fetus'
gender....yeah, over the top. So now we've seen first birthdays, baby showers, "gender parties" and big old productions to tell your family you are expecting. What's next, "we're trying to conceive" soirees?

That playroom is so cool. I would have loved something like that as a kid.

If after all this she still buys you the dishwasher, sell it on craigslist and put the money toward something you really need. And when she asks where the dishwasher is, tell her the truth, kindly. It was very generous of you mom, but we needed X more, so we sold it and put the funds toward X.

My mother gave us each a cardboard memory box, about the size of two file boxes. We could save whatever we wanted in that box. As I grew up and it started getting full, I would sort through it and toss what I didn't want any more. It was nice to have ownership of my own things.

One of my favorite featured nurseries! Light, bright and cozy all at the same time.

I second the Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster! We've been using it since my son was 7 months. He's now two years old and it's still going strong. You can submerge the whole thing in the sink to clean or even stick it in your dishwasher if the dishwasher is big enough (ours is).

My two additions to the list:

Kladd Prickar Bib set from Ikea. Bibs with sleeves that you can rinse off in the sink. BEST BIBS EVER. Kushies also makes bibs with sleeves, but they are three times the price.

Sumner Infant Tiny Diner. If they like to eat out, this is awesome, otherwise their kid will be eating straight off the table that was just wiped down with a dirty dish rag.

And, as others have said, California Baby bath products are great. Get the sunscreen too!

In the real world your little darling would have those clothes strewn around the room in five seconds flat.

I am going to put my crib in the corner just like this. LOVE the parasol idea.

I have never heard of having children eat meals at a different table except on holidays when there is just not a lot of room and all the cousins eat together. I find the whole concept odd.
