So apparently there is going to be a new baby in the family. Contrary to popular belief (mainly held by Daniel) that baby is NOT going to be able to live at our house.
Way to kill some great news, with depressing details right?!
I realized that as Uncle Eric and Auntie Kristina get ready for this little one to come they would really appreciate some tips as to how to be prepared.
First installment: Daniel and my registry picks.
1. Blankets.
So Baby Park doesn't have to steal his parent's bedding when he wants to make a fort or wear a cape. Oh and I hear it snows where he lives... could be nice for keeping warm too.
2. A smallish big boy chair.
This small tool is really vital for the engineering type, which we can all assume Baby Park has no choice but to become. Turning on and off lights and opening locked doors are all a cinch with this item!
3. Pals.
At night some of us really prefer to have a few teddy bears and other friends to
4. Truck Books - I personally recommend at least 20.
Perfect for ideas on what baby's first five words should be: Truck, Excavator, dirt, Tractor, Wow.
5. Salad Tongs.
When imitating aforementioned vehicles it's always nice to have several different options for your "claw" to pick up bark, rocks, dirt etc.
6. Credit Cards.
If Uncle Eric is anything like you, Dad, he'll know just where to find these treasured items. They're great for stuffing in your cash register and behind your dresser!
Some final notes:
- So many people register for items that simply aren't necessary! I personally see most clothing as optional - running around with or without a diaper is really the way to go. I would just register for a few outfits for church so baby Park can dress up like his Dad.
- Whatever you do, do NOT register for a snot-sucking device. It's a torture implement from mid century China. I'm serious. I read that it's made in China.
- Tools for chopping solid food are also totally overpriced and not needed. I created a short tutorial on how simple duplo blocks will more than suffice.
That wraps up this segment of advice for Baby Park!
Love you Dad,
Joshua
