Robin and I have a new game. At the moment I have to do his part as well as my own, but someday I hope he’ll keep up his own end of the banter. It goes like this:<\/p>\n
“Are you my little cutie-bug?”<\/p>\n
No, Mommy, I’m a little baby!<\/em><\/p>\n “But are you my little hungry-bird?”<\/p>\n No, Mommy, I’m a little baby!<\/em><\/p>\n “But are you my little wiggly-worm?”<\/p>\n No, Mommy, I’m a little baby!<\/em><\/p>\n “But are you my little apricot?”<\/p>\n No, Mommy, I’m a little baby!<\/em><\/p>\n “Well then…are you my bonny, blithe, bouncing baby boy?”<\/p>\n Yes, Mommy! I’m YOUR little baby!<\/em><\/p>\n The game is of course infinitely expandable. In fact the apricot line is a recent addition; we gave Robin his first real bath yesterday (babies are only supposed to get sponge baths until the stump of the umbilical cord falls off) and we used the “Burt’s Bees” apricot-scented baby oil that Auntie Nina gave us. So now he smells just like a plump little apricot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Robin and I have a new game.
