I'm guessing since Swee'pea's so big, he'll probably fit into pull-ups.<br /><br />Banana, I know you weren't trying to hide it... I was so impressed with your efforts because I don't think I could do it. I think that knowing I was gonna come clean anyways, I'd just crease the spine.cinnamon gurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363288586285868779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-47841250904474409052007-01-05T07:39:00.000-05:002007-01-05T07:39:00.000-05:00I was heavily chastised for my pre-gifty reading b...I was heavily chastised for my pre-gifty reading by my husband (the geek) and my daughter. I tried to explain that the non-creasing was not to hide the indiscretion but to keep the book looking nice....<br />I honestly would have waited, but hello - she is going to South Africa for almost a MONTH...and as I will freely admit - patience is not among my virtues (Cin would add many exclamation points to this confession if she was editing my work).<br />In my usual reading (i.e. when not reading someone else's gift prior to presentation) I destroy books - I must read in every spare second (I bore easily), so, where I go, the book goes, along with fresh dog ears, cracked spine etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-11209872051279243832007-01-04T22:49:00.000-05:002007-01-04T22:49:00.000-05:00Physics, schmysics.

My brother-in-law is a philosophy professor--it makes for rather tedius family gatherings.<br /><br />BTW, I've been meaning to email you with a wee bit of travel adivce I benefitted from over the holidays: take a handful of pull-ups with you so that if you find yourself trapped in a place with no change table and no reasonable space to enact a proper diaper change (often this can be summed up in the word AIRPLANE but the transcontinentals might have better facilities), you've got a straightforward solution. Oh and if you have never used pull-ups before keep in mind that you can rip the sides open to get them off in the event of an unholy mess of a diaper change. <br /><br />What day do you leave?Madhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416585771017767796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31853698.post-69813969194952798562007-01-04T15:58:00.000-05:002007-01-04T15:58:00.000-05:00I always read books before I give them to people. ...I always read books before I give them to people.
