Today I desided to get little Ruby one of those bumbo seats. You know the ones, big giant rubber seat that you sit a baby in. They are so weird and I said I wasn't going to be one of those moms that puts their baby in a bumbo seat. Yeah, um well, I am. I gave in, I sold out. I got a bumbo. And do you know... it is awesome! I even got the little tray that you put on it for toys and stuff. Wow, how did I ever mother Raegan as a baby with out this. There are so many things that I wish I had known about or that did not exist with Raegan that I get to try with Ruby. But its funny because I like to think of myself as a more natural style mama until I try something like this and then Im hooked. I guess there is nothing natural about a giant rubber seat that you put baby in for a few months then get rid of.
And where to I go to get said bumbo seat? At one of the most un natural places on the planet, Wal-mart. Go ahead, say it, bad mommy, bad. I packed up the girls and headed out. At least my Toyota Corrolla is a pretty environmentally friendly car, rolling in at 30 mpg. Oh yeah! Makin' up for at least a little! Anyway, I packed up the girls and off to Wally World we go. When we got out of the car I grabbed a cart and Raegan starts in with, "I wanna ride in the cart". I said, "No, your to big", and the whine fest was on. So instead of get mad I join in. "I wanna ride in the cart", I whine. "I don't wanna walk, nooooo faaaiiirrr" I protest! And Raegan starts cracking up! She sputters, "Mommy, your to old"! So I crack up and pretend cry saying, "Boo hoo, Raegan says I'm to old"! Then she says, "Well your not to old your to big"! So we are laughing so hard at this point and people are staring but I don't care. And then she says, "Mommy, your to big and to old"! Aww geez! Im laughing but I'm realizing she's right. I am to big and to old! No more riding in carts for me. Crap! Of course at this point my imagination runs away with me and I think that I should take a picture of my big, old butt in a wally world cart and post it on that web site called, People of Wal-mart. And if you have never heard of or seen this site you MUST. I will post a link to get you started. Please beware, put your soda down before clicking the link because it will come out your nose. Ok here it is!
Now we are home and little Ruby is sitting in her big rubber chair chewing on her fingers, talking to her toys and mommy is happily sitting on the floor next to her blogging away, glad to have sold out to the bumbo and trying not to squirt soda out my nose looking at the pictures on People of Wal-mart site.
