PS

Earlier this evening Caitlin walked in on me trying to fit Hannah into a big purse. I was gently folding her so that she could sit in it with her head sticking out the top and I could carry her around (much like a tiny dog in one of those tiny dog handbags, I'm beginning to think that I treat my niece like a puppy, I even called her puppy the other day) when I heard Caitlin say "HEY!" She accused me of being a bad person, until she remembered that she and Will had previously placed their baby into a large, canvas bag for humor purposes. We squabbled over that little piece of information until we realized that the baby was whining and fussing while we were deciding who was a worse person for treating the baby like a toy and pulled her out.
"At least I put her in a tote bag."

the vision of you "gently folding" a small child into a handbag is pretty hilarious, emily.

also: did you call her puppy accidentally, or purposefully? because when i hang out with my friend ben and his bunny i find myself crying "here kitty!" and such all the time, and then looking around in shame, hoping no one heard. But then, bunny-to-kitty is a little more in the same family than baby-to-puppy.

It was definitely by accident.
I was slightly horrified and slightly amused.
