things i've learned as a mother #1 one of the first things i learned as a mother is that stuff is important. keep in mind that before i became a mother 3/4s of my worldly possessions were in a small storage building in memphis. the other quater fit somewhat neatly in my mitsibushi eclipse and travelled from memphis to boston to tucson back to boston and then finally to austin. post baby i needed a large u-haul. there are things that i accuired from the attendents of my baby shower that i still haven't found very useful but below is a list of things that i wouldn't want to live without.

no noise...other than pieces being banged together. endless entertainment. punkin doesn't travel without mr. noah and one of the zebras.
