Everyone around me has spent my whole life informing me I was a baby sent from Satan himself because he couldn’t handle me any longer, so I have just assumed that BabyHood is one of the punishments doled out onto Eve, like menstruation and clothes without pockets.

The great thing is that it’s a punishment doled out completely at random! So don’t bother trying not to sin…? is that the lesson we can take from it

Yes I think that’s the moral here.

Can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying these (and relate and am grateful for the crystal ball - my guy is 9 weeks so helpful potential glances into the future!) I was also convinced of CMPA - I blame the Peanut app, so am now trying to avoid. Also not a fan of the heat nor the sun anymore, being indoors all of the time is tough! Very not normal that this is my son’s third heatwave and he’s only been around since early May…

I’m so glad to hear that, thank you! Oh man yes, there are so many apps/websites/“experts” that it honestly seems like we might as well not bother at all... Hope you and your little fella are coping okay in the apocalyptic heat, it’s so awful isn’t it!!

Beautifully written… I did not know you as a babe, only the youngest sibling. I can imagine you being a delight, though. And yes, loved beyond measure. Reading your missives brings back so many treasured memories. They say babyhood and childhood flies by. It’s all true! Inverse Tonsure! X
