I am surrounded by pregnant ladies. This morning at church I was talking with two friends about the election when a third friend came up and I realized I was the only one whose baby bump didn’t contain a baby.
So there are those three friends, plus four others who have recently had babies and that doesn’t include my cousin in North Carolina who recently gave the family a new little girl to love. In short, I am surrounded by pregnant women or newly non-pregnant women carrying infant seats.
And I’ve been thinking about what makes a good baby gift. I’ve been going through our basement, sorting through the toys to keep and the ones to toss and I’ve realized there are only a few good baby gifts: baby tools that are actually helpful, clothes and books.

As for books, all the Sandra Boynton ones are our favorites, especially Moo, Baa, LaLaLa and Barnyard Dance. Sean and I can both recite each book from memory.

I guess it's a good thing I'm not pregnant... I'm not sure my wallet (or basement) could handle it!

ReplyDeleteOur favorite Sandra Boynton book is "All the Hippos Go Berzerk!"...we can still recite it from memory...One Hippo all alone calls two hippos on the phone :)

No, no, no! The absolute BEST Boynton book is But Not the Hippopotamus. "And she just doesn't know, should she stay, should she go?"
ReplyDeleteClose 2nd is the Belly Button Book, which I think is fairly new.
LOVE buying baby gifts!
