It was actually a great day yesterday at our local fair! First off... I had my dd entered in the baby show (a light hearted baby contest of sorts) and not a single baby that was dressed like a baby pagent won! The baby in the class ahead of my dd was in overalls and a straw hat and my babe was in a sundress with a do-rag and barefoot
(she took 2nd) the baby that won our class was in a t-shirt and blue jeans. It was so relieving to see that the idealism of dressing our children like adult prom queens is starting to disappear.
Then... I went to the parents pit stop (a lounge/changing station for parents and children). Keep in mind, I come from a town that the only people I've seen NIP are the people in my LLL meeting and there isn't that many of us there. Well, as I sat down in there to nurse my dd, I looked around and every single woman there breastfed!!! Now I think to myself, of course they did.... the bottle feeders didn't need a comfortable place to sit (because lord knows, I saw enough bottle proppers walking around). It was just neat to me to be with strangers (and a handful of girls from LLL) nursing our babies and striking up conversation, sharing a common bond. I was the only one there that CDs, but thats a whole other post :LOL
