SO....the boy was driving me nuts today, primarily because I had a LIST and he was BORED. So, I being the loving yet rather crunchy mom I am, I set out to abate his boredom in a rather unique way. We played with pins and needles, scissors and wool, and at least one of us got a 30 minute nap before at last the boredom was abated.
the first meeting: eyes, nose, mouth, belly button!
"awwwww, baby (pat, pat, squeeeeze)"
"look, mama!"
"lie down here, baby. I want to get a better look at you."
not bad for a few hours work with scrap wool and embroidery floss :) I have ideas for clothes in my head, but I'm not sure when they'll actually be cut and sewn, because the boy has not put the as-yet-unnamed baby down for more than one second since I first handed it to him, but at least he's got a blankie for warmth, thanks to Granny Boo!
ok...now where did I put that list??

What a joy!!!!! Can't wait until the end of Jan.

ps-I ordered TWELVE organic coffee flavors from naturesflavors.com so I can start to make my very own organic (read: cheaper) flavored caffeine! yippee! do you want to try one if I can figure out how to make it home before i leave the country in feb?
hugs,
the rare crunchy md cousin ( as opposed to medium rare)
*roflol* very cute. And rare crunchy md, glad to see your cousin's "crunchiness" is rubbing off... She's getting me, too!! :) *lol*
P.S. rcmdc, can you email me?? I have a sort-of md question for you that begins to reach into the crunchy nature that you may be able to answer for me BUT..... Idon'tcurrentlyhaveyouremailaddresscauseI'mtemporarilynotonmyowncomputerandIdeletedyourlastemailwithoutaddingittomycurrentaddressbook. Oops. (And did you get all that?? *lol*)
um, yes. I'll trade you for some of the housecleaning essential oils I'm ordering this month.
first order of business with Charlie (mr. waaz says it's "Chuck" as in chuck the baby, but somehow that isn't clicking for me) is a diaper. Or maybe undies because while I have no velcro I have an abundance of elastic (thanks GB).
actually, I'm more crunchy then I let on. in my deepest heart I'd be a vegetarian if I wouldn't miss the meat so much. but b/c of the climate/education I have, I tend to be rare....but for an MD-WAY OVER.
I really want to cloth diaper but that was before em-started w/ my cuz in alaska-who lives in a log cabin w/ no running water and cloth diapered not one but TWO kids with an OUTHOUSE! how's THAT for crunchy? (course, she won't talk to me now b/c I answered her honestly when she asked me what i thought about circumcision....) ;)
lol. do you use "family cloth"?? because that is my new standard of crunchy fanaticism.
what's family cloth??
lil b
I must admit I'm curious about family cloth as well... and LB and E, thanks! T is sprucing up nicely.
mrs. g-it's the v talk, everyone needs that talk (provided it applies!) ;) glad it's working out!
re family cloth, well, I have reached a new level of "ewwwww!!!" but then again, when I stop to think about it, it really makes sense. ya know. ;)
LB
OOOHHHHHH... THAT family cloth..... *lol* yeah, I reached that point, essentially.... ppl that don't get it get grossed out.
J wanted to know why I was going "EWWWWWW!!!!" as I read E's email but then when he stopped and asked which cousin the email was from and if it involved a body part (I think I had told him about the cup-that cup! before) and when I said yeah, he decided he didn't want to know after all.
E, you're getting famous girl! ;)
just don't put anything in the dishwasher like aunt c, ok? ;)
