Good god, yes....every name on our list has been well established and is at least 100 years old. We're boring that way.

However, in the unlikely event I chose to name my child after a laundry detergent, I'd go with "Gain with Bleach Alternative" over "Tide."

I was gonna say...

You didn't seem like the sort of gal who would go for a name like "Tide", but I guess you never know.

Felicitee

Shouldn't the last "e" be capitalized, and have a star after it?

Amtrak would be a good one too.

Amtrak is what you rename your freeloading teenager, if you're really put out.

So -- hypothetically of course, if one were to want to purchase those sponges or what-have-you (I don't think I want him peeing on cheerios, he might try peeing on the breakfast table), where would one find such things?

Also, for all you furniture mavens and maven-os out there, where would someone be likely to find a nice set of bunk beds? I looked at Pottery Barn, but I didn't like anything they had to offer in the way of the bunk bed.

I think Mrs. Wonk just got them at the grocery store in the baby aisle, but I'll ask her.

I sort of liked Ember. Except for the image of a child on fire, that is.

For a boy, right? I wouldn't want to expose my darling daughter to "train" jokes.

I always thought Erisa would be a lovely name for a girl. Fringey, Gwink, LFM? Any thoughts?

ETA yeah, yeah, yeah. Scroll then post. I've told you a thousand times, I don't do that.

Not with the way your wife always reacts to them, you don't.

They make little sponges, very flushable, in animal shapes. As any guy will tell you, peeing is a lot more fun if you have something to aim at.

True. RT's sister is on the all-time Top 10.

On a more lawyerly-with-kidsly note: how in the HELL did vietmom get vietbabe potty trained already?

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

So Mrs. Panda, who's been working from home from the birth of the Littlest Panda (hereinafter "LP"), has had it with the boredom and her current employer in general, and is looking to reenter the work force outside the home. However, LP, who is about 15 mos., is just hitting her stride in exhibiting separation anxiety. If Mommy leaves the room, she's after her like they're linked with a rubber band. Babysitters have allowed Mommy to get things done during the week, but Mommy's never really been too far or too long out of sight. Going back into the workforce means daycare/nannyshare, either way Mommy's gonna be gone for most of the day. So we'll have to transition LP somehow so that she doesn't spend most of the day sitting on the floor at the local daycare bawling her adorable eyes out (oh, it hurts just to type that). Anybody done this? Probably we should have placed her in daycare earlier but we didn't...any ideas?
