Dear sidewalk sharers,
Please do not be offended when I do not stop for you to ooh and aah at my baby. If he is fussing I am trying to get to a place I can soothe him. If he is asleep, it is a rare luxury and I do not want him to be woken either by the change of rhythm or strange voices. If he is awake and not fussing, I am usually trying to get somewhere and this is my very limited travel time where I can actually cover some distance.
If perchance he is awake and happy, and we have a few extra minutes to stop and chat, please resist the urge to kiss him and hold his hand. He is still very young and fragile, and his immune system has a long way to go.
Thank you,
A paranoid first-time mom
