Donna's friends Linda and Dawn hosted a wonderful shower in Minneapolis on Wednesday night. About 20 of Donna's co-workers came to share the happy event. Elaine S. gave a wonderful presentation in her imitable way. She had created a "Baby Sleep Kit" containing everything needed to get the baby to bed and accompanying instructions.
Step 1. Feed the baby. (Toddler eating utensils, 2 darling bibs)
Step 2. Give the baby a bath. (Froggy washcloth and a bunny hooded bath towel)
Step 3. Read favorite sleep-inducing stories to the baby (Good Night, Mooon and Pat the Bunny board books.)
Step 4. If she still isn't sleepy, take her for a ride in the car! (Backseat mirror for the minivan.)
Other parents then offered their "last resort" methods for getting babies to fall sleep. (Donna D., in her inimitable way, suggested it would be a lot simpler to just give the baby some Benadryl.)
The laughs continued as various people suggested that the items listed on our Babies 'R Us registry suggested that Donna had no idea what she was doing when they handed her the scanner. ("White bibs? Are you kiddin' me?") These are smart people.
