Repurposing

Somewhere during our two-mile hike to FedEx Field, we lost Lucy’s
pacifier, which was clipped to her baby carrier. Obviously it wasn’t
clipped very well. Midway through our second post-game chicken strip,
we realized it was gone. Henry couldn’t understand why I didn’t want
to retrace our exact steps back up a slippery grassy incline instead
of taking a brief shortcut through the woods. I promised Henry we
could find another.

Well, that was much easier said than done. I have started ordering
lots of baby items online. Plus Babies R Us, along with other big
stores, promise to give you a ten percent discount to "finish" your
registry. So I sat down to figure out where I had registered for my
binkie grip or where I could find another. I completely gave up on
taking advantage of BRU’s offer because the coupon code did not work.
I also figured out I could buy them all from Amazon for less. Or if I
run across it at a local shop, even better. But the missing binkie
grip still isn’t solved.

Alex was here for a very brief visit. So as I stood getting dressed, I
started looking at my crocheted necklace. Aha! And as long as I have
this baby on my chest, maybe it won’t look like I just left a rave.

I went to check out Chauncey’s store to see if he had any other colors
in stock. Not right now, but he has some great new work. Check it out.
