Both my nieces are having babies this coming year. Not a lot of opportunity to see tiny ones nowadays. I may be a little excited. I want to buy all the baby things, sure hope I get a heads up before they arrive so I can buy all the cutie things! That is what the next generation does, keeps baby items close by. Babies are timeless, they need everything all the time. You can never have too much stuff for infants and toddlers. They don’t travel light either. I always tried to have items at my house for my grands. Nothing worse than the car seat swap, better just to have one in every vehicle.
The evolution of baby items have come along way. Infant car seat to stroller sure would have been a great invention when I was a child toting mom. It’s brutal to have to wake them to go and do errands. Toasty little sleeper, moved from car seat to chilly stroller is fun for no one. My best investment was a car bottle warmer and a swing. I remember saving points off the side of Ivory Snow detergent ( in a box) to send away for a cardboard playhouse. Now, Amazon has everything at your fingertips.
One thing that hasn’t changed, they still don’t come with a manual. Each one is unique! Momma’s still go without sleep and still don’t get to the bathroom alone. There are still overwhelming days and days that fill you with so much love. There is a fierceness that takes over as a parent. Babies are promises of the future. We are all part of shaping that future. For now, my future is little outfits and booties, bibs and blankets!
