Do you send out thank you cards from your baby? Are they expected? Do you do it for money & gifts, or just money?

I was just curious what everyone does or will do. My mom made the comment the other day when Karlie received a Christmas card with $5 in it, "oh you will have to send a thank you card." So I was just wondering what everyone will be doing.]]> General Thu, 27 Dec 2007 21:55:20 GMT http://parenting.nicetopics.com/general-f50/baby-etiquette-t263.htm#1208 http://parenting.nicetopics.com/general-f50/baby-etiquette-t263.htm http://parenting.nicetopics.com/general-f50/how-is-everyone-s-day-t345.htm polisher33 Mine has been....okay so far.

We put away the bumbo a couple weeks ago and last week put away the bouncy seat, mainly because it is in the way of the xmas decorations and while she will still sit in it occasionally she doesn't use it that often.

What will you do with all of your outgrown items & toys?]]> General Thu, 20 Dec 2007 14:44:13 GMT http://parenting.nicetopics.com/general-f50/outgrown-baby-items-t223.htm#1003 http://parenting.nicetopics.com/general-f50/outgrown-baby-items-t223.htm http://parenting.nicetopics.com/general-f50/pink-for-girls-blue-for-boys-t210.htm hoop1426 Right?!?!
