Food, water, shelter, love, and white faux fur boots

On December 9, 2009, we found out something that would change our lives forever. I have no self control. After finding out that we'll be welcoming a baby girl into our family in April, I couldn't buy her a black and white polka dotted dress fast enough. I was warned by friends that "once you start, you won't be able to stop." Me? The Quintessa of self control? No, that's just not true. "Yes, it is, Acala," called the white faux fur boots and matching hat from Crazy8.com. Well, I don't want her to be cold! Only a terrible mother would let her child freeze. And apparently only a terrible mother would let her daughter live without a shirt donning the Eiffel Tower and a poodle. Or pajamas covered in panda bears. Or a retro Puma tracksuit. Or three pair of tiny yoga pants (they're all the rage in '10!) Who knows the stats on babies on whose solids consist of ramen noodles and purple juice from the Dollar Tree? That's why they make Flintstones Gummi vitamins, Acala.
