It is supposed to be great for babies who are not yet sitting up because they can't roll ut of it. The Bumpo is a soft seat for babies who can hold up their backs and necks but cannot yet sit up by themselves. It is great for setting on the table if you are feeding a baby who is not yet read for a high chair. Pip used both of these items for only 10 days, and with no new grandchildren on the horizon I feel really com portable giving them away.Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-91472000547642022692021-02-27T20:52:47.787-08:002021-02-27T20:52:47.787-08:00Perfect choice of song, and an excellent voice.

He kept it secret from the family as he claimed all along covid was a hoax and all the other conspiracy theory bullpuck stuff. Anyway 9 days with the riggers (fever chills) a couple days of chest pain and hard to breath. He was very sick. I wonder what he thinks now.... Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

A convergence of circumstances has sent the husband with the kids on a trip, leaving me alone in the house until tomorrow at the earliest, and I find the solitude a huge source of joy. I can't remember the last time I've been alone, and I find I desperately need alone time. COVID has meant we are all home more than before. While I like being home, and tend to enjoy my kids for the most part, I don't necessarily enjoy being home with kids who are on edge because this has gone on too long. They'd much rather be out and about in class and socializing during the day. As they can't, they are frustrated, so they are not always the most pleasant people to have around the house. It is so quiet, and I LOVE IT.Meg B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09871105973774159424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7388810380797297879.post-31829795951075335642021-02-26T12:48:51.168-08:002021-02-26T12:48:51.168-08:00I am tired of all of the entitled @#$%%^&*&...I am tired of all of the entitled @#$%%^&*&^%$#@ (Insert your expletive of choice here) who are keeping my self imposed Covid isolation going while they are out living large and helping to continue the spread.
