TOP 5 REASONS TO NOT BRING YOUR BABY TO A HOMESCHOOL CONVENTION

#5- Fitting into the small booths with a stroller is impossible and when you park your stroller outside of the booth it is moved by everyone!

#4- You may get puked on and realize that you forgot to bring a change of clothes for yourself!

#3- It is VERY hard to concentrate on curriclum choices and balance the needs of a baby (gas, spit up, keeping the baby from being kidnapped) although at HS conferences people are rarely looking!


#2- IF your child does not sleep then you may have a very sore shoulder and neck after a combined 20+ hours of carrying the child in a sling all weekend.


#1- When in a speaker session, the baby cries and you walk out (as to not disturb the speaker who may be video tapeing the session to sell copies later.) You may get horrid looks when you walk back in and then a friend (thank you Marcy) may come from a few seats over to inform you that your cell phone rang A LOT and it was hard to find in your stroller! To top it off, the baby may just start to cry again, this time you leave with your stroller (and cell phone in tack)to go out with the baby. You may just change the baby, the baby may just pee all over you and at that moment, you learn for sure that you should have brought a change of clothes and you wont be going back into that session again!





TOP 5 REASONS TO BRING YOUR BABY TO A HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE


#5- How often are there moments with just you and this baby?


#4- It is nice to inform a vendor trying to talk you into a sell, that you "may be back after you go and feed the baby!"


#3- It reminds you to take breaks and sit and rest awhile for a feeding!


#2- People hold the doors open for you!


#1- When you are stuck in a parking garage for 45 minutes due to "technical difficulties" and can't get out, at least you have the best company!

    Too cute! Our little one is a little older than yours (10 months), but we had her too. Luckily Chad agreed to take her out of the sessions if she got loud, so I only had to miss one. I have to say, I really enjoyed the one on one time we had with her too.

    I think you looked adorable with your baby and although it was an 'experience' you won't soon forget you did smile!
    I hope you found what you were looking for. ;)

    Ha, ha!! :) I love it!! You have to know though that being at a homeschool convention, everyone else there has likely been puked & pee'd (& probably even pooped) on without a change of clothes at some point or another too. :)

    well....your phone didn't ring THAT much! and I did manage to find it and get it turned off! Personally, I loved seeing all the little babies. made me smile a lot (and miss my baby, who isn't so little any more).

    love,
    Marcy
