My parents bought us the silver/gray/green stroller/car seat combo that I picked out in our registry. It arrived today. The UPS guy was halfway up my office stairs before I realized what he had, and ran out to ask him to bring it back down and put it in the back of my truck (err, Mike's truck). It cost me a few free Whopper cards because he was being a little baby about it, but he did it, as well as relay all kinds of 'advice' on baby products and such. Hhhh look buddy, just heave the thing in and go please! If I'd have known I was going to have to go through such an ordeal to get him to put it in the truck, I'd have just left it upstairs and brought Mike's hand truck with me tomorrow and did it myself.
Yeah, something else to put together. Well how hard could it be I think to myself, its just a stroller and car seat. How many parts could there be? That was before I opened the box.
So I finally got it together. My finners are still sore from trying to get one of the wheel assembly things secured. Then I hear cats yelling outside so I made Kitty X come in, so as to not accidentally get involved, and therefore injured. Of course he's interested in the new items right away. I thought he was gonna wanna go inside the infant car seat part, but he could have cared less about it. He took a quick peek, batted at a tie on it, and left it to check out the stroller instead. It has a hanging canvas bag type thing on its underneath for parental storage. Well after he sniffs the wheels (as all cats must) even tho it hasn't strolled anywhere yet, he jumps right into the 'cargo' area and makes himself comfy. This cat thinks every baby item I bring home is for him! I figure since its not a place where the actual baby is going to go, its not too dangerous, and I grab Mike's phone to take this pic before he looses interest. Click it to make it bigger, it's cute.
Poor cat is in for a real shock when he realizes all the stuff that's sized seemingly just for him is really for someone else, kicking him out of the baby of the family position. I think he'll be alright. He'll probably welcome having a new person to speak to, since he loves to talk so much.
