What’s black and white and fluffy all over?
If you guessed my cat, you’d be wrong.
Now, if the riddle had been, “What’s black and white and condescendingly envious of the baby and fluffy all over except for a few snatched-bald spots and some patches of caked-on sweet potato?” - then the answer would be my cat.
Yes, as Madeleine’s horizon’s have broadened, her eyes have lit upon Kitty. And it’s love at first site. On Maddie’s part, that is. Kitty, the jury’s still out.

When Baby Girl was about 8 weeks old, I began reading ahead on the whole “helping your baby sleep” thing. Being a chronic over-achiever, I’m much happier when I’ve got a firm plan of attack for anything I do, even if it’s just jotting down how an evening’s going to go (1. Watch movie; 2. Go to bed.) on a paper napkin. So I wanted to have some sort of an idea about what our long-term goal – say, six months old - was for helping Maddie sleep at night.

With the big gift-giving bonanza behind us, chances are you’ve got a lot more baby gear in your house than you did two weeks ago. Hopefully by now, instruction manuals have been read (hah!), appropriate batteries found, and every toy or item of clothing tried out or tried on. Your child now has the must-have item of Christmas 2005 and is happily at work destroying it. You can rest in the knowledge that it’ll take him at least a couple weeks to bring it to a state of dangerously worn out.
What happens, though, if you’ve unknowingly got a defective toy or new stroller? What if you do everything right – supervise the use, read the instructions – but the product itself is inherently bad? How will you find out?
