premature joy

Monkey's only getting one or two presents from us this year. One of them came secondhand from a free place nearby. Because it had been previously loved, this particular gift required a bit of crafting before it was ready for the boychild. Namely, pants. I had the bright idea to craft them from some of Abuela's denim scraps, and was zooming right along on them not many minutes ago. Monkey was awake, but not paying much attention until he happened to climb up onto a chair and saw what was on the table next to all my sewing paraphernalia.


I'm not sure I have the heart to hide him (the baby) away again, even if it is only for a few more weeks! WWYD?

no hiding. make a blanket/sleeping bag + pillow, hat and mittens, sling, bowl and spoon, potty chair (ha), washcloth, velcro diaper or big boy undies*, socks...
unless you can hide him tonight. you only have one chance. if he sees it tomorrow, you absolutely can't hide it.
*those red fleece ones?

it's hidden. I couldn't come up with anything else to give him instead! Hopefully I can finish sewing elastic into the pants and make a little blanket for the crib before the big day.
