No, not that disease. This disease.
I can’t stop buying things for my child. This, I justified, of course…because when we go out to Utah…and to Scranton…and even just around the corner to Groton…it’ll be nice to have a smaller, less HUGE stroller to navigate through airports and fit in the trunk with our luggage, etc. When I told John I wanted to get one, he in a few more words than I’ll use, told me that I shouldn’t get the cheapest one I could find, because it would end up annoying us. So I bought this one, with adjustable handles so that it will be comfy to push, and a structured seat so that Camper doesn’t slump into it. I got this, too. Just because I’m that kind of Mom. And, like I said, I have a disease.
Why, you may ask, don’t I just plan on using this?
They look happy, right? Why the extra gear? I DO plan on bringing this on the plane. I’m actually wondering if Camper would sleep in on while I’m sitting in my seat. We will only be able to tell once we’re on the plane, I guess. (If anyone has ever had success with a Maya Wrap or a Beco and a 20 lb. sleeping baby on a plane, tell me your story. I want to hear it!) And as for why it will not suffice, well, once again for you, I’d like to reinforce that I have a DISEASE.
In other baby buying news, we headed out to Target today. This is not a place I go often anymore, because it’s not cheap. And although I HATE WALMART WITH THE PASSION OF A THOUSAND BURNING SUNS, their stupid “save money live better” thing is probably the only reason I can afford half the crap I buy. But Target did me well today. I got a $5 gift card just for buying two things of overnight diapers, which I then used to get some stickers for my piano lesson kids. FREE STICKERS. AND I BROUGHT COUPONS. AND USED THEM! (Thanks, Emily.) So I must have saved like $4500 today.
Which I then spent on PJ’s for Camper. Like I said. Disease.

When I have a bit more time, I’ll write out all my traveling advice for you.
Oh yes, I have it too. For some reason I feel justified if it’s for me. But if I need a shirt and head to the sales rack of Old Navy? GUILT-LADEN. What is the deal?
I went in to Target today to get diapers, dog food, and cereal. I came out with a jumper / exersaucer thing. It IS a disease…
Sorry, I mean I feel justified if it’s for HIM. Not me.
