So, every time I think we are finally done with baby gear purchases for awhile, more purchases somehow present themselves...many times thanks to the strange quirks of Miss Turkey herself.
Examples:
- This morning I let her cry in her crib for 10 minutes. When I went to get her, her mouth was completely COVERED in black flakes from chewing up the crib rail. Aaagh! So, off to Babies R' Us to purchase a soft teething rail that sticks to the crib with some adhesive stuff.
- She recently started tearing her bibs off. Can't get her to stop. So I had to invest in several of the over-the-head bibs that she can't get off. Annoying since I already had tons of the velcro bibs.
Fellow parents, what random unexpected purchases have you made?
Oh my! braces, glasses, size eleven AAAA shoes......
ReplyDeletenew ballet shoes (2 months before end of season), a little "purse" of her own so she stops taking mine apart, a piece of candy quickly opened and eaten while at the check-out line - the wrapper handed to you right as you are about to swipe your card. It is impossible to plan for everything and you are certain to buy things in anticipation of a foreseen need only to find out that either they outgrew it before they got to wear it, they have no interest in it, or it is completely useless for what it was designed for.
