Babies and shoes

Well, seems my mother-in-law has decided what our girl child (should we ever choose to have one) will look like. The image comes from an Adobe ad in some technology in education trade magazine. Apparently the girl in the ad is of Asian descent and bears a resemblance to my wife when she was a kid. Who knows.

My wife’s parents even dug out her old baby shoes. Yet another thing to ‘encourage’ us onto the road to babydom. Teeny little leather shoes with her name written on them.

I think I shall see about getting the shoes electroplated. It’ll look cool on our knick knack shelf.

When you’re newlyweds, everybody drops subtle hints about providing them with their first/next grandchild/niece/nephew. With us they don’t hint anymore, and there’s nothing subtle about it either.
