I wore my sling again today. This time in Big Lots! and then again to HEB. In Big Lots, the aisle are so small it is hard to get around. At one almost run in with another cart another women politely smiled at me and then saw my sling and gave a loud "AAAwwww", as if to say, oh how cute, there is a baby in there. It was funny, because she didn't say anything else to me, just "AAwww."
Then it was on to HEB again, it seems like I always forget something from the last trip, forcing another trip...and I live in a house full of monkey it seems...Bananas don't stand a chance in my house. So there I was at HEB again with my sling. This time I see lots of Moms with babies, in those quilted cart protectors and baby carries. Archer isn't big enough to hold himself up yet, to those cart protector covers are out.
On the juice aisle a man was moving his cart to stock the shelves and I just happened to be standing exactly where he needed to be. After I noticed that I was the reason he was waiting I apologize. He said no problem...and can I ask you where you got your thing you are holding your baby in. We then have about a 2 minute conversation about slings and where to purchase one. I suggested a resale shop because they are much cheaper there and a better investment if you decide you really don't like the sling thing.
I moved on to the rest of my shopping. Then is comes time for me to check out. As I am putting all my items on the belt the woman behind me asks how old my baby is, she also says he is cute...and even mentions "well his little head looks cute, because that is all I can see". She tells me she never used a sling or carrier because she never found one that she thought felt safe. I show her how this sling works and we chat for a few more seconds.
I think it is really funny how many people comment on the sling...oh well...everyone is nice that does.
