Esther, I loved your story about the baby fair. Those things really are quite disgusting. The lines for free formula sign ups are three times longer than any other line. I had a funny experience at one myself, about ffive years ago when my daughter was an infant. I had her in a sling (one of the few babies actually OUT of the car seat or stroller being held), and a man dressed as a giant box of Beechnut Cereal walked towards me and tried to hand me some packets of dried rice cereal. I said "no thanks, my baby is only four months old". Just then, Julia spit up and the Cereal Box guy said to me "Oh, she's got formula on her chin". I'm like, "I don't THINK so". It was a completely surrealistic experience, let me tell you, talking to a cereal box with a face.
