From His Favorite Aunt

I don't think I've mentioned yet that I'm going to be an aunt! And it's happening soon, as in today or tomorrow! (I have no powers of prediction... the little fellow's almost a week late, so my sister's going to be induced).

When my sister told us the news, my mom and I immediately started talking about all the "basics" the baby would need...

A silver cup...


Bunnykins china...




Trumpette socks...


High-quality, handmade German toys...

My sister is relentlessly practical, so I know she'll have all those other "basics" (diapers, formula, etc.) covered, which is fine by me. No one ever became a Favorite Aunt by buying baby wipes, right?
