"crying is the perfect evolutionary tool for your baby to communicate her needs"Uh no. I'm pretty sure that if we're asking for perfection talking would be the way to go. As a communication tool crying stinks.Quoted from The Bullshit Baby Book, by Never Looked After A Baby. Published: 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995....
Yup and while we're at it can they be born both talking and with a full set of teeth. Teething is the pits.
ReplyDeleteLol! I am with you 100 percent!!
ReplyDeleteThat photo is amazing. And yes talking babies would be far easier. Not that I have any but it would be nice if they could work out how to do it by the time I get round to it...
ReplyDeleteShe's only trying to communicate that she prefers ocelot to giraffe, in her mammal prints, thank you very much mum and dad. I remember, around when my second child turned 3, I looked around one night and said, wait, wait, did we just have an entire day in which NOBODY cried?
ReplyDeletei can remember staring at my nieces and nephews as they cried...and wondered how could i stop this when they are dry, full, and in comfy clothes. so i just held and patted.
ReplyDeleteWoah. And great picture.
ReplyDeletejoe had a dream a couple months ago that our baby came out talking like a champ.
ReplyDeletewe're keeping our fingers crossed.
Ahhhahaha!! So damn true.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic, even though she's crying! nice to read honest parenting posts too!
ReplyDeleteomigod the photo.
ReplyDeleteHahaha that post made me laugh -what an antidote to all the 'wholesome' parenthood schmuuush that's being blogged every day.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog it's inspirational and down to earth with the odd karate chop of cynicism thrown in for good measure - brilliant.
PS Is it wrong to have twin envy - we've left it a bit late so a double whammy sounds like a jolly good plan -enjoy...
Also, hilarious. :) Love you. x
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile!
