The sun's out! No pony time today, though, unfortunately. I decided to stay put today!
I've had an awkward situation arise today...my aunt from overseas sent a present for us, after asking me a few weeks ago what we needed (not much, but suggested a lambskin for the carseat when it faces forwards). Well, got the gift today...a nappy bag...I have one already in another colour! It's a great colour and would probably have been a first choice, but I've been using the other one since day 1 and my sister got it for me, so I'm not giving it up. I could give it to my sister, but my aunt will then get my sister something and I'll have nothing from my aunt to tell Oscar she got him! PLUS, I already bought my sister one in another colour again and I could take it back for a refund, but then I'm left with the previous sentence's scenario. She bought it from an online baby gift site cos she's overseas...what to do? Keep it as a spare and alternate season by season? Week to week? Keep them both scrupulously clean by washing one on one week to force me to use both? The new one also has a mobile phone pouch that my first one doesn't have...I suppose it couldn't hurt to have two? There isn't anything else on the site that we need or want (would like an extra sling, like a Baba Sling - different design from the HAB), so I'm either going to have to keep a spare or email my aunt to tell her what my situation is...loathe to do that. They're a bit expensive to be keeping as a 'spare'. Unless I keep the red one for me and the other one for DP. But with only one baby, this seems a bit much! I would love to have a 'something' from her that reminds me of her when I use it. Has this happened to anyone else?
