Taking a cue from the granddaughter

With the joys of a grandchild have come the equal joys of seeing the amazing array of new gadgets and conveniences. Not only will this child never know what a real diaper feels like, she'll never bump her head on the brick fireplace because there are now fireplace bumpers!

However, I haven't really seen how I could personally use any of Emily's doo-dads until last weekend.

Desiring breakfast and a break from the interstate, we stopped at a fast food place. The service was what one would expect at 9:30 on Sunday morning, a bit sluggish. The tabletop clean-up service wasn't even at that level. We found one clean enough for a quick bite and at that moment I realized what I needed to pack: Emily's disposable placemats! Her mom just whips one out at a restaurant and it sticks to the table. Meal over, placemat is disposed of.

Hey, Emily... MoKa needs to look in your diaper bag and grab a little something!
