Home Alone
Last night, I had my first "real alone time" with both kids.  My wife went on a little shopping trip, and then to a movie... leaving me with little girl, and the 4 week old boy for like 6 hours.  The first few hours were pretty hectic... but then I got to feed the boy for the first time.  He has only been boob fed until now.  We have about 60-80 bags (our freezer is full of boob juice) ready f...
No F&*%kin Zipper Pajamas…Any Where?
This is something that really bothers me for some stupid reason.  Why is it nearly impossible to find newborn and infant pajamas with zippers.  What is the deal?  Zippers are way easier, faster, and look better.  So why would they do this to us.  I was at Kohl's today, and the Carters rep, just happened to be there.   The conversion went like this...

No F&*%kin Zipper Pajamas…Any Where?

41wE0t4MmHL._AA280_This is something that really bothers me for some stupid reason.  Why is it nearly impossible to find newborn and infant pajamas with zippers.  What is the deal?  Zippers are way easier, faster, and look better.  So why would they do this to us.  I was at Kohl’s today, and the Carters rep, just happened to be there.   The conversion went like this…

Carter’s Lady:  Can I help you find something?

Me:  Yeah, I need to find some newborn or 0-3mth pajamas with zippers

Carter’s Lady:  We have some really nice ones with buttons

Me:  I don’t want buttons,  I hate buttons, I want zippers

Carter’s Lady:  Well, we don’t have any of those, in-fact we have phased zippers out of infant ware, and are not even making them anymore

Me:  That’s the stupidest thing I have ever herd, are you kidding me?  Why would you do that?

Carter’s Lady:  Well, we have had some negative feedback about them. Some people are zipping up their kids skin

Me:   Those people are stupid.  With a zipper you just zip once… with buttons you have at least a dozen chances to pinch their skin in the button snaps

Carter’s Lady:  And people also….

Me:  People are stupid, zippers are faster, eaiser, and look better.

Carter’s Lady:  I will let someone know

Me:  You do that.

So… I’m an asshole.  But is it too much to ask to have at least the option of having a zipper.  I spent all day looking for these endangered species of sleepwear, and only found two, really ugly ones.  So I stocked up and bought a few of each in different sizes.

I’m now deciding to put together a store that has nothing but pajamas with zippers.
