Raspberries.

June 9, 2008 21:36 by baldy

Man.

Alison and I are already talking about how skeeerewed we are once Elaine can actually form sentences and use that power to tell us what to do and/or ask for something. I have some questions of you parents out there (young and old). How did you avoid spoiling your kid rotten? Or was that something you weren't able to avoid? Either way, would you do anything differently? In retrospect, what do you wish you would have put more of an emphasis on? (Feel free to use the comments section below if you want to share your answers...or email me.) Also feel free to tell me that I'm bonkers for even worrying about it.

So the most recent development in the little Lainey show is the liberal use of raspberries. She has learned how to 'make' them and boy does she enjoy it. We've yet to capture a really good raspberry session on video, but I'm sure we will in the days to come because it's ALL SHE DOES. She chatters, "ooh pthhh ghee PTHHHH beca PTHHHHH agah PTHHHHH!!!". I've had that one Depeche Mode song in my head for a few days now 'cause I just can't get enough.

In other news, Alison is in her second week back at work, so Lainey has Nana Aves hanging out with her, reading to her, changing her dipes and being the best nanny ever. Nana gives us a detailed report at the end of each day letting us know just how angelic our little girl has been. When we got home tonight, Elaine got a bath from her mother and Nana snapped this gem of a photo just after she got out - so this is fresh, clean baby action!

Oh my *god*, what a cutie patootie! I wouldn't worry about spoiling her for a while -- babies don't even form permanent memories until they're 18-24 months old, apparently, so spoil away for the next year or so. Although who am I to say you're worrying too early? I've already spent a lot of time worrying about keeping Molly from becoming an alcoholic, so whatevs. Personally, I don't worry about spoiling kids; my feeling is that kids are generally going to turn out to be the same people they were meant to be regardless of your actions (unless you, say, beat them with flaming extension cords or something), so I'm going to just try to enjoy her.

Woohoo, let the spoiling continue!

Spoiling is relative isn't it? IMO that's a concept from a much harsher time. Enjoy the raspberries!

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That?s a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
