The Old Navy Disaster!

Ysa, do I ever have a story to tell!

You see, what happened was, when you were a mere 2 weeks old, we went to the mall to get your passport pictures taken in order for us to cross the border to Echo Lake. The picture place however, was on lunch till 3 and we had to kill time. So, off we went to get your cousin Aubrie something for her swimming lessons from Old Navy. I decided I too would try some things on. I go into the dressing room with you peacefully sleeping your beautiful Phil and Ted's stroller. I'm half way through putting a bathing suit on, when you not only wake up, but demand food NOW! I think "Okay, I'll just feed her in the dressing room!" I try to get ready to feed you, and try to use my silly hooter hider thing (which is way harder than it looks!) in case someone walks in (although who would walk into a dressing room....?!?!). Meanwhile, your still frantically rooting and crying, and (to put things discreetly), I'm making a mess everywhere! At the end of the day, mom and Eden came to save the day.

Here is a picture of you, dear Ysa, in the Old Navy dressing room, with your sweet Auntie Eden saving your from the traumatic experience.



 Now, when the clock turned 3, we went to get your passport photo's done. The regulations for a little baby's passport really are cruel: no crying, no smiling, eyes open, both ears visible, arms and hands down, baby must be sitting and not lying down, and no visible hands holding the baby (my hand is up the front of your sleeper, holding your head up and trying to get both ears to sick out)! Seriously? How is any person supposed to get passport photo's of their 2 week old baby?! At the end of the day, I love the photo they got of you Ysa. Weren't you so cute and little?
