Today's update
Clothing challenge (orange):
Me: denim shirt with fall embroidery (needed orange, this was about the only thing I could find), khaki pants, blue socks with oranges on them
Alan: Lined Plaid shirt with orange and gray, matching gray pants (from Gymboree's Construction Zone line), orange baby gap socks with a crane on them.
Stopped at Radio Shack last night and got the cable I need to hook up my DVD again. I plan to send the junky Daewood back (they called and will send a box and a shipping tag) and when it returns hook it up in the less used bedroom.
This morning Alan was hard to dress. And he wanted waffles which is not something I want to make at 7:45 when we should leave. He managed to eat 1/2 of it.
Our former sitter's daughter saw me while waiting for the bus. We hadn't heard from them in a long time, glad to see they are still in town.
Then while walking to work I spotted a little boy in this Hanna Anderson jacket (I wish I'd gotten one when Alan could fit in them - they stop at size 2t):

and then when I went to Starbucks I saw a baby in this odd looking stroller (the green one):

Maybe in NYC you need a studier stroller, but I can't see spending 700.00 on one. I do regret the Graco one Alan used between the time he outgrew the car seat carrier,
(similiar to: http://www.gracobaby.com/catalog/product.aspx?productSubBrand=Glider®%20Stroller&modelNumber=6987FMT&CategoryID=2)
and the umbrella stroller - but at least I only spent about 50.00 on it (after a 25.00 credit from a snowsuit I returned).
Eye doctor tonight (checkup) and pickup my gymbucks holds. From what I've heard online, I'm glad I'm waiting - gymboree really doesn't do well technically (website or cashregisters) on superbusy days. I'd offer my services as a software tester for them, but alas they are in California and I'm in NJ.

Stroller
We ended up buying our first stroller about a month ago, the Graco Mosaic as shown here:

I'm still trying to get used to it as I've always carried Arabis in a sling or Baby Bjorn. She seems so far away down there! If nothing else, it's good for putting the groceries in!
Re: Stroller
I think your Graco at least corrects the design flaw mine has, where the basket slants inward making it hold less than it should.
What does Arabis think of it - sadly I never got the hang of slings, I did have the wrong one (an Over-the-shoulder-baby-holder) for me.

I actually LOVE that stroller you saw in NYC, how it transitions, how it keeps baby toddler up a bit. There's no way I can justify getting one but they're nice.

Speaking of strollers hehe, here is the one I'm getting for when I have two kiddos. Even though my daughter is also 3, she doesnt like to walk around the mall at all. She's a natural born rider... likes to kick back and take in the scenery lol!

Yeah I worked at gymbo on day one of gymbucks redemtion. It was quite crazy from 7-9. Basically everyone was grabbing everything in their kids size, then sorting through the pile of what they really wanted. They were all just afraid of someone taking their size.
