Baby, You Can Fix My Car
I came across the Baby Be of Use books on the personal blog of our very own Crabmommy, and decided they were brilliant enough to put my hard-earned blogslave wages toward a four-book deluxe set. They arrived today and did not disappoint.
The books are all premised on the ever-so-practical idea that it's never too soon for payback. For instance, Baby Mix Me A Drink asks, simply:
Are you a parent? Are you thirsty? Too many of us allow our infant sons and daughters to lay about idly -- napping, drinking milk and sometimes "turning over." Why not have them mix you a cocktail? Thanks, Baby!
Inside are pictorial step-by-step instructions easy enough for a baby to follow. There's also books for fixing the car, making breakfast, and doing the finances.
Although my baby is now a defiant, instructionally immune 4-year-old, there are others in this house who have litter-ally enjoyed years of napping, drinking milk and sometimes "turning over," without ever lending a helping paw. Kitty, Mix Me A Drink!
