The other day while shmying around on FB, I came across my friend’s photo of her new baby. While all commented of course on how adorable he is, and he is very cute, I was all consumed with one thought: where the hell was the baby’s hat?

And then it dawned on me, I’ve become one of those mothers who either want to layer up a newborn or undress them according to how we did it.

Thankfully, I know better than to comment on the “shoulds” of how children ought to be.
