at the library

The Lad and I went to the library today, just a quick trip to pick up some books the husband and I had ordered. It was The Lad's first visit to the outside world, other than the doctor. He seemed to enjoy it, meaning he slept through it except for one tiny squeak that I quickly silenced with the pacifier.

The library was one of the first trips I ever made with The Boy, too. That trip was much more eventful.

I carried The Boy in a sling and while I perused the new arrivals, he grunted and cooed in his sleep. An old lady in the aisle cast curious looks in my direction. The Boy's coos turned into cries. The lady's looks turned cranky. I opened the sling to shush The Boy.

"OH! It's a baby!" cranky lady said. "I thought it was a cat."

Still the weirdest thing anyone's ever said about my kid.

Only about a week after my daughter was born I took her for a quick visit to my husband's (don't yell at me) school! (gasp...the germs....) To keep my little away from the germs I had her in my Moby wrap- tight against my body. When we came into the library where he was conduct class the librarian looked at me oddly. I then proceeded to show the baby to the students and the librarian and she then told me she thought I had some sort of breast enhancement surgery! uhhhh nope! Nature did that for me.
