The Not-Quite-Essentials

July 3, 2008 by Mummybean 6 Comments

I started with the best intentions.

When Daph buzzed me to give me the heads-up on the Tangs 12% sale on the 2-3 Jul, I thought it would be the ideal time to get a start on working through the list of essential items that different friends had provided to me. You know, stuff like the stroller! crib! car seat! pumps! awholebunchofothernecessarybabyaccessories!

Instead I walked away with:

1 pacifier with a terribly cute turtle in the centre and 1 “I love Daddy and Mummy” milk bottle.

This despite the fact that I: (1) haven’t decided whether I would want to start baby on the pacifier at all, and (2) am going to try to breastfeed so may not require bottles quite just yet.

Sigh. I guess this is what happens when I go shopping with your best friend and you get sidetracked by cute stuff that you both just can’t resist! All I can say is, thank goodness we didn’t also get this really cute bathmat (also a turtle!) that we spotted. I can so imagine DD rolling his eyes at that…

(I did get an airpot and a toaster too though so at least that was productive! Err, right, DD?)

    Hello! I know how you feel…Am in the exact same boat and have not yet purchased anything of significance. My 3in1 steriliser is still ahead as my biggest purchase! I say ‘go all out!’ with the cute stuff now cos it’s only a matter of time before it’s your kid’s turn to "roll his eyes" at stuff you buy for him right? hehe!
