Grump Fest
January 11th, 2008
Things aren’t all peaches and cream here (not that I’d know what they taste like).
I am a high needs, high maintenance baby. Some days I don’t let anyone do anything but soothertain me (aka sooth/entertain me) – purposely restricting my naps to mere minutes, maximizing parent-child contact ratios.
It’s the nurses and doctors that tell my parents I’m "highly sensitive" or "highly alert" – my parents have no frame of reference having lived baby-free lives for so many years.
Good thing I’m cute!

Hi Widget!
You know, the nurses said the same thing — and still say the same thing — about me.
What they really mean is that you’re a smarty-pants and you’re not content with merely sitting idly by in life while you know cool things can be done for your benefit/entertainment/enrichment. You’re a take-charge baby and you’re eager to learn about this world and explore what is all around you. Unable to walk or talk or do things for yourself by virtue of your youth, you have no choice but to rely on your adult handlers and communicate them as often as you can and by the means you’re able to do so.
And so, to you, I say, smart babies of this world unite! Demand your entertainment! Do not let your parents think for one moment that they can sit around and enjoy adult conversation, eat at fancy restaurants or snuggle in peace! We are here! We are smart! And we need entertainment! Now!
