Baby love

My sister took the following video earlier this summer of Jack Jack in his camo pj's just before bed. Jack has a bear that he has slept with since he was born. My sister-in-law's mom gave it to me in the hospital. It's safe for babies. It's washable. It kept me from having sleeping horror stories with Jack. They bonded early and are still going strong. Jack is a very loving, snuggly kid anyway, and he is much more interested in stuffed animals and dolls than Ellen ever was. It's really cute. And it reminds me of a story . . .

A boy came home from riding his tricycle outside and was a little upset because the neighbor lady had seen he had a doll with him and told him, "Boys don't play with baby dolls." His mom said not to listen to her, and that because he loved his baby doll, mom was sure he was going to grow up to be a good daddy, just like his own daddy. "You're just working on being a good daddy," she said. The boy happily went back out to play. Neighbor lady felt it her duty to give him a hard time again about his doll, and mom watched as her boy proudly told his neighbor, "I'm working on being a good daddy." Neighbor lady's jaw dropped and the little boy rode happily away with his baby doll.

Jack Jack is working on being a good daddy. You can never start too early . . .



And I'm sorry I don't post videos that often. This one took me the whole afternoon to upload, practically. I'm technically challenged.
