It's amazing the different reactions you get when wandering around a city centre with a pushchair. As someone helpfully observed, I won't need to be able to deal with this just yet, but it is useful practice. Hmm, thanks!
This afternoon Alice, Benjamin and I went shopping (although he didn't do a lot of buying!), and while Alice was choosing and trying on stuff in Next I was left holding the baby, so to speak. Which was fine, I quite enjoyed it. But people respond to you in a very different way when you have a baby. Obviously he appeared to be mine, and it was an interesting experience. Especially the concerned looks when he was not very happy and making it known!!!
From people with young children of their own, with whom you can exchange statistics (even not being the mum I managed this quite well!), to broody women who squeak while their boyfriend/husband looks worried in the background, its amazing how much more attention you attract with a small person! We made lots of friends just standing outside the changing rooms!!! Thanks Benjamin, town shopping was never so much fun!
