Other mothers totally check each other out. It drives me crazy but I'm also to blame. I totally do it too. Mothers check out what the other kids are wearing (or not wearing -- no socks? no shoes? shouldn't they have a hat on in this weather? I wonder if they put on sunscreen?), the type of stroller they have (and the make, style, and colour --- oo that stroller was SO last season), if they're eating or drinking something (and overall ability to multitask), how much weight the mom has lost relative to how old the kid is seated in the stroller, and if the mom looks like they have it all figured out... (wow brushed hair and clean clothes -- how DOES she do it?).
I'm also totally tempted to ask moms if their houses are clean. Did they just pick up and go when the baby woke up (leaving toys, books and sippy cups strewn all over the living room -- not that I would know that from experience, or anything...no not at all!) or is their house immaculate. I want to follow them and peer into their windows to see. Am I the only one with 2 types of blocks scattered all over the floor?
I honestly think I pick up Ben's blocks at least 4 times a day. If not more.
Yesterday -- I picked up blocks during nap #1, nap #2, right before I vacuumed, after dinner... and then again after Ben was in bed. I wouldn't bother, but I think Ben enjoys taking the blocks out (or dumping them out ... as he's realized that dumping the whole bin is a lot faster at getting the job done). I also can't stand blocks all over the floor ... don't even bother asking me how many times I've tripped over his toys.
He's cute though...so I let it go.
