I spent money today, and since that is so extremely rare, I thought I would share my excitement about my purchase.
I bought an Ergo baby carrier. For Cade. Because he says "Up Up! Mama! Up Up! Ride! PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE! Mama! Up Up Ride! Me See! Peeese! UP! RIDE! PEESE!!!!!! PEESEPEESEPEEESE! MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMA! UPUPUPUPUPUPUP!"
And, Hanna, my dear sweet partner in cream, and also my friend, let me borrow her Ergo one day when Cade asked for a ride. Cade is very persuasive.
So, today, I bought one. A NEW one. Because it doesn't pay to buy them used, they are like Corolla's. They don't depreciate much. Because they're good, that's why. And they last a long time. So.
And I got some new diaper inserts. And I asked specifically for two of each: female snaps, male snaps. Because last time, they sent me like 30 male snaps and 6 female snaps. That means I can only make 6 snapped pairs. And I like to snap them. So.
And, I bought vitamins today, but that is not as interesting. But, it does mean that I spent a lot of money in total today. Because, I bought vitamins for the rest of the year (yes, 2009), and diaper inserts and an Ergo, which is not cheap. But COOL AS HECK. Yep.
And, I bought the Ergo and diaper inserts at Cotton Babies. And they are nice there. And the Ergo was cheaper there than at the Ergo official online store.
One more thing- when I ordered, I used my already existing account and my address was my LeRoy address. Which means I haven't spent any money since 2006. That's pretty good, eh?
(And by 'spent money,' I really mean just very much at a time, on something specifically for my use- mostly).

My babies are far too big to wear and indeed in not so many years will probably be wearing their own. However, I remember so fondly the years of lugging them. I used to have Alan in the Snugli in front, Becky in a Gerry in back,and Liz by the hand when we tottered around the place. (I was much tougher then than I am now for sure.) Your post brought back good memories, thanks
Your post and Threecollies, brought back fond memories for me also. Only back then....we only had arms, and carrier seat, and hands. Things have really improved.

I have to ask what an ERGO is??? And hopefully it will come in handy because you did, did I hear you correctly, SPEND money?? Wow, Joce---I am impressed! Heather
ergo! It's a baby carrier that supports "babies" up to 40 pounds.
LOL.

For those of you that have a Buy Buy Baby near you (they just opened a new store in Rochester....)
Yesterday I went to scope out that scene with my Mama. And they sell the Ergo's there!! They are $134ish dollars. But if you have a super duper 20% off coupon like they are sending to the folk in my neighborhood, then they are much much less. :D And the Ergos ARE super wonderful and well worth the money spent, seeing as you can resell them after about 59 hundred thousand hours of use for around $50-$80
Just wondering if you have pics of Cade, "taken a ride" yet??? Oh and what color did you get??
