Reader Contribution

My friend Betty, as in Betty Crocker since she loves to bake, emailed me following story. I thought I would pass it along with her permission of course. Betty is an awesome friend. In addition to giving me homemade soups and baked zitti multiple times when I was pregnant with my younger son, a few weeks ago when both boys were sick she called me up to ask what I took in my coffee and dropped off a steaming hot cup of coffee from Dunkin Doughnuts along with a care package.

Today I had an experience that I thought you may want to help others out with. I had all my presents for the teachers, the new health form for my child, the registration forms for both boys for next year. I was early for the Christmas party ("A" refers to as the cookie party). However, as the mom who pulled up next to my minivan and took out her other kiddos out of the car. I noticed she had her camera. Yes I went to my child's first christmas party with cookies and singing without a camera. So i raced down to the local white hen. I walked around the store and could not find one. However, i noticed 2 behind the counter. Two ladies where in front of me and I prayed they both didn't need a camera. I noticed the line took alot longer that I wanted it too. Didn't the people in line realize that i was going to be late for the party. I bought one of the 2 cameras and raced back to the school just in time for cookies and juice. As all the other mothers and fathers had their video cameras and digital cameras taking pictures. I took out my disposable camera to record the moments that i almost forgot to get. My lesson ....carry a disposable camera in your bag for those mommy moments.


A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: Carry a disposable camera or a camera cell phone in your purse/diaper bag.

    Betty,
    Thanks for your contribution. Based on your writing skills, I would love to share your comments more often. Even people like me, who are too lazy to create an account, comment anonymously. :-)

    My two cents...Carrying a digital camera is just as good. Unfortunately I am as irresponsible as I am lazy, and I always forget to bring batteries.

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
