Down by the Bay....

Who comes up with these books? All these baby books kinda don't make sense, especially the down by the bay book. It talks about whales with polka dot tails and llamas eating pajamas. Is this what we want our kids to learn? Lies? We need more educational books. I guess it does show kids how to rhyme words, uses repetitive sounds to help them learn the words, shows them colors and gets them familiar to short sentences. It's just these books aren't in depth in the topics they choose. For example for the down by the bay book why not talk about the sandy beaches the blue waters and crabs and fish and stuff. Not whales with polka dot tails and flies with bowties. I guess all the books are looking to be silly and just plain random to give the children a bit of an imagination as they are read to and as they read. Maybe I should look into TO's book called TO learns to share.

Anyways we got the car seat in the mail. Who knew it would be such a hot item that many of our friends would not be able to get. I guess 60% off is a good deal. Maybe we should just sell it for double the price we bought it for =). Anyway we also got some more baby clothes as Jee mentioned in the earlier post. The frillier stuff was a two piece bathing suit that I did not believe the baby needed next year. What baby needs to show off their belly? We did get some cute pants and shirts though. I was too lazy to post pictures of all the clothes.

I can't believe it is already August. We only have 4.5 months till the baby comes and we really don't have much. We still need to buy a lot of the "bigger" things like crib, dresser/changing table, curtains and such to start decorating the babies room. Luckily I work at PB and can get a discount. Who knew baby furniture could cost almost more than adult furniture. Along with the furniture we need to start picking out other things like bottles, toys, baby seats, infant car seats, strollers and such. Luckily Jee is better at thinking about what the baby might need soon. Hopefully.

Down by the bay. Where the watermelons grow. Back to my home, I dare not go. For if i do, my mother will say. Have you ever tried to figure out what this baby business is all about? Down by the bay!
