My ignorance

I think my brother's wife is having a baby soon, I mean SOON! Sometimes today or tomorrow...

I wonder what his name will be... By the way it's a boy :)

Lately, I realized something important, something I should of understood way back, but here I go...

I never understood how to treat babies, so I kind of thought to myself deep deep inside, maybe it's like taking care of dogs. On the other hand, on top of my head I was pretty confident that I knew what it was all about.

So anyway, I went to my friend's house to see her lovely lovely 2 months old baby. He was so cute, and helpless, he was alway crying for his mom. And, after a while I had a chance to hold him, but he started crying a lot begging for his mom! I didn't know what to do, and so for some reason I panicked and I started petting him (like I do to my dog when she cries..). I also kept on comparing him to my dog, Minnie (Cause my dog also has diapers on). I knew I was totally wrong, but somehow that was the only way I could think of when I wanted to make him feel better.

And, so 2 months has past by and I met my friend again last week with her baby. And guess what! You will have no idea how he has grown so big in just 2 months!! Also, what really surprised me was I think he remembered me, and smiled when I was talking to him. He let me hold him too :) I swear this is going to be my last time to compare babies with dogs, but I noticed dogs are different. BIG TIME! Now, I'm really excited to see my friend's baby grow, and can't wait for him to start talking to me!

I think everyone will make fun of me for comparing babies and dogs ... but I really have to think of responsibilities when I'm going to have babies in the future. I'm in the middle of reading "Marley & Me" , so that's why I couldn't help myself talking about this subject... stupid stupid me

Perfectly legitimate comparison! Mei I have never even changed a diaper, I don't know what I will do if I'm a mom someday! I only know what to do with kids after they are up and moving on their own!

I've never changed any either!! Only dogs, hehe...

I guess it's only a matter of getting used to it. You'll get the skill!

I know you'll make good mac'n cheeze for your kid tho, cause your mom was awesome ;)
