Two geeky girls’ guide to the first year of motherhood.
From the monthly archives:
This one’s especially good if you feel like your living room is already an obstacle course — now it can be on purpose!
Set up an obstacle course so your baby can test his mobility skills (crawling, rolling, lurching, flailing, whatever!).
Try a couple of pillows, some toys, a plastic bowl, and (to make it really delicious) some magazines. Holden always wants to eat the mail… anyway, watch your baby navigate the challenges of a new situation. Help him out if you’re so inclined.

I couldn’t decide if I should title this “Help your kid be cool” or “Make yourself cool”. Either way, this is an activity whose payoff is years and years down the line.
I was reading MetroDad (who is hilarious and a fantastic writer, by the way) and saw that he and his wife are buying concert t-shirts for their now three-year old daughter so that “in 20 years, she’ll be able to glam out with brand-new vintage concert shirts.”
My husband has been instructed to buy a shirt for his future teenagers when he goes to see the White Stripes in a few weeks.
