So today being Friday, the day of rest, we went out to lunch and the three of us walked to Starbucks for some "chill time." Well, I guess to say "the three of us walked" would be a lie. Two of us walked and Noah was carried.
*sidenote: Did you ever think how weird it would look to someone not from planet Earth to witness parents and infants. Think about it. I can hear them talking to each other. "It is strange, the small one seems to be their leader. He moans and speaks in a strange language, but the two larger ones tend to him and carry him around. They do all that he bids. The small one doesn't seem that smart either, he drools on himself and can't control his bodily functions, but still the larger ones obey him."
Sorry, back to why we aren't that cool.
So we are in Starbucks. Starbucks is the "trendy, western" place to hang out here. So you will see the 20 something crowds hanging around dressed more in style and western then we do. Its a place for quiet, rest, "in-depth" conversations between singles and business associates.
Well, we order and B and the shorty head upstairs. I grab our coffee and head upstairs and I see B sitting at a table by the window. We've got a small table with two cushy chairs and a poof. Is poof the right word? Its a big round thing that is actually a chair but with no back or armrests. It is a really comfy foot stool or a good chair. Well Noah had claimed the poof. He was asleep wrapped in a blanket taking up the poof. So at a glance you would see a couple hanging out chatting about something "sophisticated." That is, until you see the wee small drooling kid snoozin' on the poof.
It was great. People hanging out talking about "important" things and being all cool and then there is B and I with a kid conked out on the poof. We've officially hit the next stage in life. Which by the "single, 20 something crowd" isn't cool.
So by the official guide to coolness, you don't bring your kid to Starbucks. So....that's it. Aliens think we're strange and we no longer fit into the Starbucks crowd. What a day! :)

Who cares! the 20 something don't have the joy of singing babies.
that was form me
POPS
perhaps you 3 have redefined cool. Perhaps the love you 3 show is something that everyone sees and ponders and desires. Perhaps even now, those cool 20 somethings are wondering how cool it will be to hang out in SB with the one you love and the beautiful gift you've been given. Perhaps........N'elves
In the last week I have read two blogs about skinny jeans. It seems that they are now cool. I guess if that is what the cool people think is cool...I don't want to be cool anymore.

As one of the few singles here, pretty much everyone has babies and I must say they are pretty cool. And we even go to starbucks with the stroller.
