Bear came with me yesterday morning to pick out a bridal shower gift for a co-worker of mine. I chose two beautiful crystal water goblets off her registry. Bear was not impressed with the registry. Nor was she impressed with the other practical gifts I tried to point her towards. (Boring! I wish I could capture in print the attitude and disgust in her voice.) I managed to talk her out of the microwave and the hot pink fly swatter but I lost the war.
In front of all her aunts, cousins, friends, and bridesmaids "Miss Jen" opened a box of 100-calorie pack Sour Patch Kids and a matching box of 100-calorie pack Swedish Fish.
At least it wasn't wrapped in Hannah Montana paper.

- I am a 30-something year old dietitian by day and mom by night (and day and all those hours inbetween when people without newborns are sleeping) who is still figuring out this whole motherhood thing. I love knitting, reading, yoga, and long walks - they calm the baby. I have an obsessive facination with ebay and an equally obsessive fascination with my children.
