No way that just happened

I saw an print-ad for these and quickly rolled my eyes. There are plenty of other ways to spend money as parents-to-be. Still, this commercial is awesome.

Nursery Update

The nursery is coming along. We got some of the furniture delivered (by me) from BrUs a couple of weeks back. Here is our dresser:

The clothes in front of the dresser are from Jamie's coworker. She gave us a kid-ton of second-hand little boy clothes which is going to help out a lot. Our crib still looks like a cardboard box. I'm not assembling it until I get the painting done. Hoping to get the room primed this weekend. Here are the 3, very different colors we are looking at:


We've pretty much decided on the green because it seems fun.

Daycare Idol

Jamie and I have seen 3 different day cares now and feel qualified enough to make snap judgements. The following DayCare could be a perfectly fine and affordable establishment but it never got the chance.

I set up a visit the day after Memorial Day. He said it would be no problem, just call on my way over. So I called on my way over and as I was driving by and as I pulled into the the run-down vacant lot across the street. All I got on each call was the "We're-away-for-Memorial-Day" message.

I was waiting for Jamie to arrive but had already decided this wasn't for Baby-Kelly. I appreciate the $10 they spent on the sign for the day-care and the playground forged from raided dumpsters but it was not for us.



No idea how many words "daycare" is btw. I took the shotgun approach hoping one of them was used correctly.

Dresser Win!

Dresser #2 arrived last week and we put it together with great success! Although, I think the universe is trying to balance itself out because my camera battery died at the end of the video robbing, you, the viewer of several more hilarious stop-motion animations. Luckily, I noticed that the camera was off relatively quickly and stopped my antics.

Dresser Fail.

So, we ordered a little dresser for the nursery. Got it from Target online last week and finally got around to putting it together today. Not so fast. After following the instructions exactly we were left with a dresser with a door that would not close because the vertical piece was warped. That's what all the opening and closing of the door at the end of the video is about.

I set up the time-lapse in hopes of capturing triumph but it only shows defeat. I was able to return it in-store and get the shipping fee back. I guess we reorder and hope the B-Team wasn't making dresser parts that day.

OH!

I just remembered! We were at Buy Buy Baby and they had a shirt that said "My first birthday!" The size was 24 months.

Clothes!

I am a sucker for tiny clothes with cute things on them at this point. As a geek that based his bathroom color-scheme off of a Spider-Man 2 poster this had to be purchased immediately. Thanks for that link Sis!





Here are some other options for the times that the Spider-Man onesie is dirty.
