Success

Just in case anyone is wondering ...
I did place baby on his back for sleeping.
He can roll over now.

Not Quite Ready

We had to get a bedroom ready, which meant stripping wallpaper, scraping off years wallpaper paste sludge off the walls, repairing a hole in the wall, painting, ripping out the wall to wall carpet, and cleaning the floor.

Grandma is Ready

All I need are a few binkies, diapers, bottles, and I'm ready to go.

Happy Birthday to Me

So witty. So true. So very classy.
I completely agree with the very first post. All libraries should be like this.
