It's Wednesday, and the doctor said I was all cleared of Jaundice. At last I'm released from the hospital. It was horrible, my beautiful and loving mom, brave as she was in giving birth to me, was sad to tears when she had to go leave the hospital without me the other day. But all that's forgotten now, its time for me to have a look at what my parents call home.
When I first entered the door, I was pleasantly surprised. Greeted by beautifully furnished laminate flooring, a 32 inch flat screen tv and a comfortable sofa set; I thought I was in heaven. But then again, what greated me immediately was a small playpen as soon as they stepped into the house. I had to lay down in my kiddy jail cell, with no one to talk to. What right did they have in confining me into such a small space?
My parents thought they could ease my jail sentence by adding some music in my playpen. Yes, it was more then adequately "pimped" but then again I wanted to see the world then being locked up in a cell. In addition, the playpen did not have proper ventilation. With the sides all covered up, Dad tried putting a fan nearby, but it just wasn't airy enough. It's either too hot or too cold. Well, complained I did. Dad was a little lost as he didn't know what to do. Apparently new parents are scared to hell when they get a newborn decides break the peace and tranquility with a deafening cry. Kids do try that at home. It's kind of fun from time to time. Trust me.
In the end they put me into, what I now consider now as my favourite recliner. I think its the best thing that mom and dad had bought for me. With it I could watch tv, look at both my parents or grandparents and see what they are up to. It may not be that much. But hey, for my age its as good as having a "la-z-boy" and watching your favourite movie.
Great thing about being the new family celebrity is that people come from far and wide just to see me and to give me presents. The best thing about it was everything was all about me.
Tips for new parents:
1) Crib - More ventilation. Playpen tend to have it's sides covered.
