What's the Use?

I've always been amused by perfectly functional pockets on baby clothing. Really, of what use are they? 
Maybe they are good for hauling money or valuables around - if only you knew the difference between the value of money and the value of a used kleenex.
What about art supplies? You never know when you'll need a crayon to draw on something - if only you had mastered the notion that you have hands and that they can be useful to you.
Maybe they are good for hauling snacks around - if only you were able to eat snacks at 8 weeks old.
Ah, there is one useful thing that could fit in those little pockets.
A pacifier!

    I am laughing too; you ARE very clever, you know! If Keilah had enough pockets she could keep money on hand for her brother to borrow for the purchase of more legos...in fact, she could charge interest and make money on the deal - if she had another pocket to keep it in. Then crayons for Ana and Abby to use, more interest gained, and a snack to nourish her motherly food source - you don't rob the hand that feeds you - and the pacifier for when mom's not available...lots of use for baby's pockets!

    Thanks for keeping us all entertained....love, MomK

    So cute and funny! I have to admit, you're right - what in the world are baby pockets for? Aside from additional cuteness :)

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
