Baby clothes, or sanity check?


I've begun to wonder whether sayings are put on baby clothes to remind parents how much they love their children, when they're not necessarily at their most loveable....

As my daughter screams (the "feed-me-I'm-starving-I-haven't-eaten-in-at-least-ten-minutes!!" scream) for what seems like the 1,000,000th time today, I notice her nightgown say "Mommy loves me"...and I can't help but grin.


Or when I've just changed her diaper for the fourth time in ten minutes, and grab (yet another!) outfit for her to wear, I see the phrase "I [heart] Daddy" on the front...once more, I pause to grudgingly crack a smile.

Maybe it's like automatic damage-control. If you buy enough of these outfits, perhaps you won't go completely insane as a parent. Hmm...something to consider.

Right now, I'm off to soothe the fussy one as she wakes up from her nap and is STARVING!!!

Lucky she's cute.
