Mary's Musings Everyone asks the same questions over and over again, when you have a new baby. Now you might think that we would get tired of giving the same answers time and time again, but I think we're like most new parents - we don't mind talking about our baby at all. The first and foremost questionask- ed by everybody is "Who does she look like?" But before you can offer an explanation, the person asking the question usually gives his or her opinion. Now, 1 must admit that when Chelsey was first born. both Victor and I studied her tiny Pace for some signs of resemblance to either of us. We even got nut our baby pictures to make comparisons and when nothing concrete turned up there. we resorted to digging up baby pictures of our parents. Still nothing firm, While her chubby cheeks may be similar to mine, her dark eyes are more like Victor's. And even so, she does not look just the same as either of us. Finally we decided she was unique - and now when someone asks who she Final euchre at Shipka hall By MRS.

Ile also announced that the annual meeting of the community members will be held in two weeks on April :i at 8:3() p.m. Personals .fill and Elizabeth Russell, accom- panied by their grandparents ('liff and Velma Russell. of Dashwood, spent some holidays in the March school break at (*ottani. to visit their aunt and uncle. Tom and Rosanne Russell, and cousins Jackie and Jenny. Lawrence and Nellie Obermeyer and Winnie Gill of (rand Bend visited last Wednesday afternoon with Wray and Madeline Sweitzer Saturday visitors and dinner guests with Hugh and I. were our cousins. Anne and Albert Coleman, of London. and their son Jack .of Kingston. By Mary Alderson looks like, we shrug and suggest that she is really just herself. Still, everyone offers opinions on who she is like. Some people are con- vinced that she looks just like her Mom, while others are equally ada- mant that she's just like her Dad. There is no consensus, and the votes for each parent are running about equal - which only serves to convince us that she looks like neither parent. Once people make up their minds as to who she resembles, they move on to question two: "is she good?" Now. I think that there isn't a parent alive who would answer no to that question. Even the mother of the most colicky baby is not going to admit that her baby is "Bad". So, the answer to question two is much simpler than question one - it is always an une- quivocal, unconditional yes. However. sometimes you are thrown a curve hall - question two becomes a two part question. Once you state that yes, your baby is a good baby, the person asking the questions wants to know "Does she sleep through the night?" Well, the second part of question two sometimes requires some qualifications.If, by sleeping through the night you mean can she sleep for eight or nine or ten hours without a feeding. the answer is yes. it's just that our ('helsey used to prefer her nights to run from 4:00 a.m. until noon. Did you know that you can watch "Eight is Enough" re -runs on Channel Four from 3:00 to 4:00 a.m.? But we kept on rudely awakening her early in the morning until she finally learned to sleep from 10:00 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. although if allowed to she will slip back to her nighthawk tendencies. Once her looks have been assessed, her disposition decided on and her sleeping habits examined, we move on to more personal questions: Does she like her bath? Well. Chelsey hasn't yet graduated to the bath tub. nor has she tried out our hot tub. so we're still not sure what she thinks of her bath - we'll lel you know when she decides. Apparently. some people ask if the baby has a good appetite. We've never been asked that question. I guess once glimpse of her chubby cheeks tells anyone that her Similac agrees with her RECEIVE GRANT Lambton MPP Lorne C.
