It's the Little Things



   We try not to pointlessly add more "stuff" to our lives.  With 11 people in the house, it is a constant battle to not be overloaded with stuff.

  So, I seriously thought about buying this bib (and the other 4 that came with it) for months.  What is wonderful about these bibs?  Well, they have SNAPS.  3 of them.  That all fasten at once.

  Rose considered bibs her mortal enemy. We would put one on, and she would pull it off. We worked on training her to leave them on, but I'm busy and often she would get it off and then smear food all over herself and her clothing.  That of course meant she was a horrible mess and she often had to be changed.

 Finally, I broke down and got these bibs with snaps.

  And voila, she is now significantly cleaner at meal time.  She can't get these off. And since she can't, she's decided that life really is Ok with a bib on, and is at peace.

  I'm all for being thoughtful about new purchases, but sometimes something like bibs makes a big difference in reducing my workload.
