Who? Me, Stress?

posted by Sarah Gill at 12:43 PM

Okay, it's been a while since Evan Jake or I have had a chance to post anything here on diaperlogue. I bet you're all wondering what's happening. Well, there's been a lot going on.

For those of you who don't already know, my Daddy got a fancy new job in a new city. I guess all of those years of slacking off, making personal long-distance phone calls from his office and stealing stationery supplies went remarkably unnoticed by other potential employers. Now he has a big important new job, and he might have to take this one a little more seriously.

I just had a major relocation myself about a month ago and now I have to move again. With that last move I had, I wasn't allowed to take anything with me. Not even any clothes. I didn't get a relocation allowance or anything. This time, I will get to take all my stuff with me -- my swing, my pacifiers, my diapers, my blankies -- everything goes!

I have to say, the house we live in now isn't nearly suitable for this princess, anyway. I'm glad that Mommy and Daddy have gone out and bought us a new house that is much bigger. My new room will be so much more spacious and is much sunnier. I can't wait to get in there and paint it pink and purple. That will be awesome.

Daddy seems a little stressed with having to move us all to a new city and start a new job. I think his hair is turning gray. I must be stressing a little, too, because all of my hair is falling out and my face has broken out with pimples. Oh, the horror!

I'm still pretty darned cute, though. If Daddy gets too stressed, he can just look at me and feel all better. Aren't I beautiful? Yes. Yes, I am.

No, I'm the Baby!

I'm barely three weeks old, and I've already been shown up!

Yesterday, my new cousin got born. Now I'm not the little baby any more. I'm the middle cousin on Dad's side!

Well, I hope I get to meet my new cousin soon. We can commiserate about that whole birthing thing and swap womb-tales. And just so you all don't forget about me while you fuss over the new baby, here's an adorable picture of none other than me, Sarah Gill!

DiaperReport: Maryland Science Center

posted by Evan Jake at 9:06 AM

Last weekend, my Daddy took me to the Maryland Science Center. Mommy and Sarah stayed home to sleep. What else is new? They missed out on a pretty fun time. That first picture of me is at the Inner Harbor. This is as close as Daddy would let me back up to the water because there are no railings. It makes one wonder how many tourists have shuffled into position for a picture and found themselves suddenly all wet. But back to the Science Center...

We went right when they opened on Sunday morning and it was a perfect time to go. Daddy got us a parking space on the street right in front of the museum. And there were no lines to get in.

The first thing we saw was the dinosaur exhibit. This is what I was most excited about, as Daddy had been hyping up the dinosaurs for a couple days in advance. There were big tall dinosaur skeletons everywhere. There were also some very lifelike looking statues of walking dinosaurs. There was a loud "roaring" sound coming from that particular exhibit that kind of freaked me out. I had to put my fingers in my ears and run in the other direction. Do they really have to make the statues so scary? I bet the real dinosaurs were much nicer and cuddlier.

The best part of the dinosaur museum was the digging part. There were some undiscovered dinosaur bones right there in the museum that needed to be uncovered! So I put on some protective glasses, grabbed a brush and went to work. I was quite proud of my discovery and wasn't too pleased when the museum guide covered over my bones with fresh sand as I left.

After the dinosaur exhibit, we went upstairs and checked out all the cool physics displays. I had tons of fun running around and pushing all the buttons that made sparks jump, pendulums swing, tornadoes spin and magnets repel. They even had a giant bubble-maker. Oh, man, I love bubbles.

I loved the dedicated kids' room. In here I got to really run in cirlces, splash around at the water exhibit, play with springs, pegs and swirling ball thingies. It was cool. And I finally got to meet a fake Cal Ripken, since I never got to meet the real Cal Ripken. That's a picture of me shaking the fake Cal Ripken's hand.

After leaving the kids' area, Daddy decided we should take a pass on "Body Worlds 2." I guess he didn't feel I need the detailed anatomy lesson just yet.

So on the way out, Daddy bought me a stuffed dinosaur from the museum store. This guy was definitely cuddlier than those bones I saw earlier. All-in-all, we had a really good time and I only wish Mommy and Sarah had gotten to come along, too.

Overall Rating: "A Pacie"
