The Joy of a Funny Baby Gift!

We've been told that everyone poops, and anyone familiar with the diapers and the wipes knows that you just haven't lived until you've sniffed around your baby's butt in public (is that you, little guy, or the next kid over?) to see if it's time for a changing!
Give those new parents a baby gift that brings a breath of fresh air to the baby shower with the Everyone Poops Gift from psychobabyonline.com. At least then, they'll be laughing about those stinky diapers (maybe!)!

L/S Sir Poopsalot Onesie, $28: Available in 0-6, 6-12 and 12-18 months, all we have to say is that we "like diapered butts and we cannot lie!"

A Special Note To Our Readers

To our wonderful, valued customers:

Judging by the terrific response, you appreciated our "44" sale!

Not to get too "cause-y", but we thought we should put our "money where our mouth is" when it comes to a renewed belief in what's possible, around this historic moment in time.
It's neither a Democratic thing, nor a Republican thing. It's a hopeful thing, and that's something everyone could use more of. A small demonstration of our commitment to that ideal seemed like the right thing to do to start off the new year.
We're happy you're happy.

All the best,
The Psychobaby Crew

Fun Fact: Woodrow Wilson was known for his hats, shown here in his Inauguration Day processional!

This week is full of history, as we welcome in our 44th President, Barack Obama, on his Inauguration Day tomorrow! We've seen plenty of people en route from Chicago going to celebrate, and we would love to hear first hand news in the Comments if you attend! For those of us staying home, we've all been talking about how to celebrate the day with our kids, and teach them about our Democratic Process! Here are some fun facts we have gathered for you to share with your little ones!
+ President Obama will be sworn in on the Lincoln Bible; he will be the second President to use it in his ceremony.
+Everyone waits on baited breath to hear the President speak- George Washington's address was the shortest, clocking in at 135 words, while William H. Harrison's was the longest at 8,445 words!
+ Thomas Jefferson walked to his inaugural, while William Taft's wife was the first First Lady to attend the procession!
+Harry Truman's was the first to be televised; Bill Clinton's was the first broadcast on the internet!
+The 20th amendment to the Constitution changed the Inauguration Date to January 20th!

If you have other facts to share, please feel free - and let us know what you have in store for tomorrow!

New Junk Food and Musings on Cool Kids' Clothes

We just got new baby and kids' tees from Junk Food, including Little Miss Giggles, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles (above)! One t-shirt arrived in a random adult size and one of our team members scooped it up and called it theirs (we can't blame her, although we're bummed she's quicker than us. Quick like a cat, really!). This, of course, led back to a conversation about what-we-would-wear-from-the-store-if-we-could-fit-into-it with our clients as we waited for the power on our block to come back on (long story!) Then, it was like I was in a cartoon and had a light bulb over my head (the only light on at that point!) - what better to discuss with y'all than what you personally would wear from our store if it came in your size? Once ComEd said "Let there be light" I raced over to ask you! My t-shirt pick is above - we can't wait to hear what you'd pick as your style fave! Leave us a comment!

Freaky Friday Clue #10 - the freakiest sale yet!

Be sure to check out Freaky Friday tomorrow beginning at 11 am CST! We only have one thing to say - you'll definitely have a Happy New Year!
