10. She can eat whatever she wants. Literally. Tofu, cat whiskers, garbanzo beans, paper...anything.
9. The little things--her shampoo doesn't sting her eyes, she doesn't pay bills, someone cuts her toenails for her for free, etc.
8. Faces light up upon mere sight of her.
7. Having only a few teeth is socially acceptable and somehow charming.
6. When she is tired and whiny, someone simply puts her to bed instead of making her do the dishes and laundry first.
5. She looks cute in everything she wears without trying things on under fluorescent lights.
4. Without having to attend AA, she will have no memory of the things she did during these years, no matter how embarrassing (i.e. pooping her pants every day).
3. Her world is an intriguing playground, unclouded by cynicism, partisan politics, bitterness, or caffeine addiction.
2. She can wear footie pajamas without looking creepy.
1. She always smells good.
It's good being Baby.
