I’ve done it – I just bought the first thing for the new baby. Well, not just – it was two days ago now, but I’m just now getting around to writing this. Craig still maintains that it’s way too early to start buying for this baby, but I feel like if I see something I love, I should get it. Right?
Anyway, it’s just a little blanket, but it is *so* cute. It’s blue and green and very soft and cuddly. Yes, I do understand that this baby is going to be born in August; however, babies still need blankets in the summer if they’re inside with air conditioning, which is the case here. So, it was perfectly justified. And it didn’t even cost much! %-)
I love blankets. Sami has 34 blankets (no, that’s not a typo). Oh, and that’s not including the ones that people gave us that I didn’t like and packed away. Did she need 34 blankets? Not likely, but she did use all of them, at least a few times. 22 of the blankets were the fabulous two-ply ones from Gymboree, and they matched her Gymboree outfits. She used to wear a different line/style of clothes each week to daycare, and she would take the blanket that matched. They thought it was very cute. But I think she’s getting a bit old for that now, so with the new Gymboree summer line, I did *not* buy the matching blanket. It was a first. Craig is very relieved, though not nearly so relieved as he will be when I decide she is too old for Gymboree clothes… 
In other news, the semester is (finally) over. Craig and I have both turned in our grades, and we are done with teaching until the end of August. We will of course probably end up with several whiny emails from students complaining about their grades, but that is to be expected and it’s easy to deal with. We have lots of paper-writing and grant-proposing to do over the summer, but it is nice to be free of the teaching at least. So, we are in somewhat of a celebratory mood these days.
Sami is now letting me know in no uncertain terms that she is ready for me to stop being in front of the computer and go back to playing with her, NOW, so I’m off…
