The Maketunim
I will be sharing the grandparent duties with, not only Adam's dad, but also Judy and Jerry....Jenny's mom and dad....the Maketunim. To say that I have fallen in love with these two people is an understatement. It is as if they have always been part of my family. I feel so lucky to have them in my life....Going to Babies R Us with Judy was an experience of a lifetime. Not only did we spend hours (not to mention $$$) there...but, the store will probably never be the same. We tried out everything...including the sliding rockers (ahhhh) and marveled at all of the choices that new parents are now faced with. They even have this item called "My Brest (sic) Friend" which the new mom uses to hold the baby up when she is nursing. In my day (Oh G-d, did I really just say that?) the kids wore little white shoes that you had to polish daily because of the smudges...and the only outfits available for boys were those a train on it...and, if you breast fed...you held the baby up with your arms. (imagine that) Now, the kids can wear miniature running shoes, boots, docksiders, loafers, etc.,etc. And, the outfits! wow...so many cute selections....even famous designers have gotten into the act. You almost need a degree from Consumer Reports to pick out the correct stroller and car seat. But, when it gets down to it....what stays the same is what is really most important....and that is that this little baby will be ooohed and ahhhed over...photographed continually.....cheered on when he poops and burps....and most of all, loved. How nice to have so many people who will be falling in love with Baby Buddha. Watch out, kid. : )
