Dressing for My Date

You know how it is when you first date someone? You wear clothes you think they will like, things that you feel great in, clothes they have complimented you on, that type of thing. He likes you in green; you wear green. He likes you in blue; you wear blue.

Well, today, I spent just as much time dressing for my date. It's just that my date was one month old. Daughters and I spent the day with the new niece (and her big sister). Do you realize how hard it is to dress for a newborn?

If you're planning on having some quality baby cuddling time, you have to be careful of things.

No necklaces - she won't be able to sleep on your neck.

No long dangling earrings that could be caught by little hands.

No shirts with details or scratchy buttons - she could wake up. (First rule of babyland - do not wake happy, sleeping baby.)

And, remember to bring an extra shirt with you to be able to change before afternoon meeting. Even though she does not appear to be a spit-upper, you never know when that could change at an inopportune moment.

Nothing better than dressing for a date, especially when the date is as sweet as this one is.
