Baby Invasion

Submitted by Sarah on Sun, 03/26/2006 - 2:02pm.

Babies in strollers. Babies on chairs. Babies held by admiring friends of the family. Everywhere I looked yesterday in downtown Oly, there were babies.

One man stumbled out of Batdorf and Bronson, exclaiming "It's a day care in there!". Now B&B hasn't actually gone into the business, but it is understandable why some would think as much.

As I held the door open for yet another baby in stroller, I realized something even more intriguing. All those babies were calm. Sleeping babies. Or awake babies taking in the view without complaint. All over town, inside and out, babies were invading, quietly.

Calm region, calm babies?

All the crying that east coasters take on when they come out here about how we don't have any emotions. At least our babies don't cry.

Indeed

I bet this is weather related too. The babies tend to be calm when allowed out of the house come spring, because it is so amazing to see sun and dry people.

Everyone of all ages looked pretty mellow yesterday.
