In Those Days

You know you are getting old when the words "in those days" infiltrate your vocabulary. I used to think that expression was for old people and apparently I have become one of them. I didn't think that caring for a baby could have changed since I brought up my children, but it has. There are so many new items that are used. There are Boppy pillows, snuggle seats, pack and plays and no one uses baby powder. I find myself saying "in those days" when my kids show me how they do things. "In those days, we put a lot of baby powder on the baby when we diapered him". "In those days, we put the baby to sleep on his side with a rolled up blanket supporting his back". "In those days, we heated the bottles in a pot of hot water and dropped a bit on our wrist to see if it was hot". Truth be told, in those days we brought up wonderful children.
