    A lot of those just seem like outside the box thinking, and should be encouraged.

    Particularly the air horn.

    What's the use of even having a baby if you can't let your friendly neighbourhood hobo look after it, or put it in a dresser drawer?

    I'm still waiting for the Olympics to finally get on board with my idea for the "Baby Luge".

    I bet they'd look adorable all strapped into their sled.

    And drying your baby with the laundry just seems energy and time efficient.

    My sister and I let her best friend's kid to sleep in a laundry basket with clothes when she was a baby.

    And throwing the baby up- hell I did that with Parker when she was big enough so that her neck wouldn't break/her head fall off if I did it.

    ....... I now want to use an airhorn to wake her up in the mornings.

    She'd murder me dead.

    I love that there is a section on "Containing Baby."

    Also Lilly, who is 14 months nearly, loves to chew on shoes. If you take off your shoes in her vicinity she is going to do her damnedest to chew that sucker.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    That article made me dream I had another baby.

    And it was chunky as hell and not cute.

    I heard about this, but read that the baby would be used in place of the sled. Baby is faster than sled, with their "baby smooth" skin and all.
