- Breast pump (hallelujah!)
- Breast-feeding pillow

- Jogging stroller (a nice idea, maybe if I’d had very little babies…)
- Baby gates

- Onesies (deep sigh)
- One-piece footie pjs (long gone, once we discovered Ben slept better if he could reach his belly button)

- Teething toys
- Nasal aspirator (used maybe the first week of Ben’s life? and later—cleaned—as a teether)
- Rattles

What remains:

- Crib (though the bunk bed has been selected)
- Car seat
- Boys
Hurray for the boys.
Three cheers! For you adult types, and for “the boys”!
I have to let you know how happy this post made me. (As in, get a huge smile on my face and drag Todd over to read it.) M & J will be about Eli’s age when we move and I’ll be so glad to not take the bulk of this stuff with us!!
This is a great post and I just linked to it twice in my latest post (about how torn I am between the desire to have more children and how tough it would be).
Oh, and I linked to your blog too, in the post, I just don’t know if I put the right ages for your boys — 5 and 2 or is Eli 3 already?
