I like it. They sleep well. They are easy to, you know, when they fall down, they get up. There's just more padding.

Did you ever tried one of those, I think they call them baby dion

I tried for it literally⁴ one day. And I put my boy in it, and I was like...I couldn't do it.

I tried exactly like you. I tried it for one day and I never knew what was supposed to go on the back or the front.

Well, people kind of grag like you can do both, I don't know he's ever seen anyone rock both of them, but they look like real ass⁵. But they are so, they are so, they are using their own babies to balance themselves.

Ok.

The three and half-year-old right now is kind of turning into like a possess of husband or a little bit. He's kind of, he knows when I'm going out. Because I'm dressed up, or have my shoes on. And he'll just kind of, like today, when I was dressed up to come here, he said Where are you going? I said I'm gonna going out? and he said with who? 

Really?

I saidI'm going to see some friends. And he wanted to tell him about you.

Yeah, of course. They are wise.

And they want to keep you *

To keep you from...I think they are smart.

And he said Well, put on your coat. Don't do anything I wouldn't do

Very nice.
