Useful skills for having a baby #1: knowing how to make a pie crust.
Every time I put the baby in his bassinet, it is like laying down a layer of pie crust. You have to be decisive and calm, and spread them out neatly in their little container. When you do it perfectly, they settle gently into their new home. But if you’re too rough, you risk tearing a hole in it and if you mess up and now parts are hanging over the edge, you’re going to have to cut them off.
Luckily I am a master at laying pie crusts and babies so I have not had to fix any mistakes so far, but tomorrow is a new day.
