Blair: “I bought a shirt today.”
Nate: “Oh, yeah?”
Blair: “It’s yellow. I’m not sure how it will look, but I can return it if I hate it.”
Nate: “I like yellow on you.”
Blair: “It’s bright yellow. Like…baby toy yellow.”
I could have said bright goldish yellow. Or the yellow found in kindergarten rooms. Or even referenced a Sherwin Williams paint swatch. But no, I picked “baby toy yellow.” & the worst part is, he knew immediately what color I referred to.
So happy baby Harrison is turning a corner
Hang in there – you're a GREAT mom !
Glad Harrison is making progress! I think you are hilarious and a great mother.
The best is when you are humming a song and suddenly realize it's a song from one of the baby toys.
I used to nanny my little nephew and used to get the songs to his toys in my head all of the time. I would catch myself humming them even when I wasn't with him!
parenthood WHOOOOOOOOT!
Hey…there's nothing wrong with "baby toy yellow!"
It's much better than "baby poop green" or "spitup buff".
haha – I think baby toy yellow is the perfect description for some colors – parent or not you know exactly what shade you're talking about!
I didn't realize that almost all baby toys are comprised of the same colors until trying to sort through the Christmas aftermath! Our house is also a huge sea of blue, green, red, yellow, and purple. Any toy you pick up will, for sure, have at least 3 of those colors!
ps. I first found your blog after I too had a miscarriage, I don't really remember how I stumbled upon it, but I've been following since…Your son is gorgeous!
I only had to look around my living room to reference baby toy yellow. yup. know exactly the hue.
LOL! It's apparent you're a parent when…..:)
Bright, baby-toy yellow is the best! It's my favorite shade of my favorite color.
Even my car is yellow- but we need to get a bigger one. Soon, so long, my Tweety car.
I knew what shade of yellow you were talking about right away too!
I figured it was about time I left a comment, since I think the bloggy link notifications may have already alerted you of my pseudo-bloglove-letter to Blair from last week. Those damn ping/trackback thingies make it difficult to blog-stalk someone.
But anyway, I just had to say that this post gave me a bad case of the giggles. And I think you should get some uni-sex giraffe yellow in there, stat.
