Sometimes (say, around 3:30 in the morning on Day 42), a simple "I Love My Mommy" just doesn't cut it.**

Those are the things really printed on the bibs, in the same way those 3D images are put on posters, the ones you have to stare at for a long time until the pattern suddenly appears. Or when the exhaustion level makes one so incoherent that one hallucinates :)
Your second footnote reminds me of the time when my eldest child was NOT adapting well to my MIL's Wheaton, IL apartment, the first night of our visit. Jim went to try to get her back to sleep, and was gone for awhile. When I went to check on them, he was getting her suited up and into her car-seat. He had decided that she would spend the rest of the night in the car, in the parking lot. He STILL doesn't see an issue with that.
