One of my friend's mothers is quite...interesting.
She has an opinion about everything.
When my friend had her first child, her mother was constantly giving her input on what the baby was feeling, what it wanted, etc.
Now granted, her mom was taking care of the baby 4 days a week.
However.
If there is one thing I learned in being a mom, it's that moms (or dads) know their children best. Our ears can pick out our child's cry amidst a sea of crying children - or from a good distance away. We can sense poop as it is happening. We can smell dirty diapers from across the room. We're like superheroes in this regard (see previous posts).
This woman also likes to give her opinion on everyone else's baby. Including mine.
So when Anna met this woman for the first time, I knew it was going to be interesting. We avoided her most of the event, and after several hours of smiling at EVERYONE, this woman sat next to my friend (who was holding Anna) and began talking to her. After a minute, Anna began to cry.
And the woman began telling me everything that was wrong with Anna. I simply picked her up, went inside to get her the bottle I knew she wanted (which quieted her immediately) and sat back down.
As we were leaving, another guest at the party gave us a hug and told us how gorgeous Anna is.
I added in that she's also a great judge of character. : )
