A List for Tuesday

Five Reasons I Hate Taking Dutch in Public

1. People want to touch him
2. He gets told that he's "pretty"
3. People think he's a girl
4. I feel weird talking to him (even though I talk to him constantly at home)
5. Chris thinks I'm paranoid

hey I am totally with you!!! I hate when people touch my babies. I don't care how clean they think they are...DON'T TOUCH MY BABY!!! And Dutch is pretty, even though you hate to hear it....he is! Be a proud mama!! I wouldn't say he looks like a girl though, and I doubt you put him in anything that would say "hi I am a girl". All blue and all boy.....people are just dumb!!!!!

I started wearing mine in slings partly because it keeps people from touching my beautiful bambinos! And people still call Noah a girl! Of course, it doesn't help that his hair is long....oh, and in that last pic Noah was swinging a shaker (water bottle with rocks in it)- that was a close up of him while their "band" was performing for us. Lots of Love!

1. You need to chill out! I got over the whole "don't touch my baby thing" very quickly- How can you refuse a flight full of soldiers returning from Iraq when they want to hold your baby?
2. He is a very pretty baby - sorry!
3. People are dumb. My bald Evie still gets called a boy even if she is in a dress and wearing big diamond earrings.
4. You are weird so it shouldn't bother you if the world knows.
5. Chris is right you are paranoid. Don't forget the tin foil hats for you and Dutch next time you go out!
