The lovely little bunny

As I paid for my clothes at the till in J. Crew, the sales associate looked into my stroller at Ellie and said, "Aww, is she a newborn?"

I stifled a huge guffaw and hoped I had left her feeling relieved that newborns don't come this big, otherwise we would all be in big trouble...

Ellie is 3.5 months old. She seems fairly easy going (at least for now) and sleeps super well. Sometimes she sleeps right through the night. Trust me, I'm not that naive and I know that can change at any time!

P.S. While my Bunny is all cute and sweet, I have a crazy toddler doing something she shouldn't be. But today we were at the neighbours and she is so comfortable with her little pal that sometimes they get into it, and have to say sorry. This excerpt from the blog, Honest Toddler (written from the perspective of a toddler) made me laugh out loud because it's soo true...

"Whether you’re holding my upper arm in a death grip or doing your in-public calm parent act at the store (“What do you say, honey bunny?”), know this: I’ll apologize so that life can go on, but I in no way feel any regret.

Below is a handy guide for translating my fake apologies.

When I Say “I’m Sorry” I really mean:

I’m sorry I got caught

I’m sorry you have enough energy to care

I’m sorry I didn’t run faster

I’m sorry I did that in front of you

I’m sorry I didn’t hit him/her hard enough to make them afraid to tattle

I’m sorry I didn’t eat the evidence

I’m sorry you have no sense of humor

I’m sorry you lack a spirit of adventure

I’m sorry you are obsessed with “clean”

I’m sorry kids can’t be kids

I’m sorry you have such high standards

I’m sorry your rules are too boring/complicated to follow

KIDS AT THE PARK

I’m sorry you’re no fun

I’m sorry you don’t know the difference between personal and communal property

I’m sorry your snack looked delicious and your reflexes are slow

I’m sorry you were in my way

I’m sorry I had to punish you

I’m sorry you are so slow

I’m sorry you thought sharing was for more than 30 seconds dummy give it back

So stranger, the next time I trip you with my body at the grocery store know this: I’m not sorry you almost fell. I’m sorry your walking skills and center of gravity haven’t advanced to the point where you’re able to successfully run errands. LOL."
