don't be jealous of the chicken casserole

Dear Smart baby-

Really you don't need to cry everyday between 5:15 and 5:45. I may break eye contact with you while I measure hot pepper flakes or saute vegetables. I may put you in the bouncy chair because I need to don oven mitts to remove some piping hot thing from the oven but, rest assured this does not mean I do not love you. Please don't get jealous of the chicken casserole, or the steamed broccoli, I know you feel very threatened by my attentions to them at the dinner hour. Hopefully the trauma of this momentary division of my attention will not forever scar your psyche. I promise I will always love you more than making dinner!


Very Sincerely,

Your one and only smart mama

P.S. Don't worry I promise not to divide my attentions between you and the dirty dishes- we'll save all those for your dad!
1. binkies
2. bouncy seats
3. babies so cute you love them even why they fuss

Very cute picture. Dinner time was always hard with a new baby..somehow they know you are trying to make it and feed everybody. Must be a baby code. I have felt your pain.
