I’m no photographer. Most everyone who knows me knows I suck at that. Below should convince the world that not only should I never go near a camera, I should stand way back from the front of cameras in the future.

That said, we can move on to important things. Like Wry Baby’s unique baby gifts rocking the latest issue of Earnshaw’s Magazine with both The New Parents’ Fun Book AND Wry Baby’s Pillowcases for New Parents. Oh, you don’t get Earnshaws Magazine? Then you must not be one of the hottest boutique gift stores in the US of A. Or maybe someone keeps stealing your copy from your office in the headquarters of the big department store you work at. Here’s what Earnshaw’s had to say in the New Lines section about Wry Baby’s new baby journal, The New Parents’ Fun Book:

Infant apparel and accessories manufacturer Wry Baby of Mooresville, N.C., reinvents the baby journal with a humorous activity book. “The New Parents’ Fun Book” is filled with games, puzzles and comical crafts. Published by Running Press, the 96-page book is filled with CurseWord puzzles, Poop Cahrts, Nickname Maker-Uppers, quizzes, and photo and journal pages…Visit wrybaby.com

You may have seen them on the Today Show last Feb (at the end of the Valentines Day gift segment). The Wry Baby New Parent Pillowcases feature embroidery at the top corner that says ON DUTY or OFF DUTY and both pillowcases can be flipped to either side to show who’s getting up in the middle of the night for that 3am feeding. Perfect with Wry Baby’s Wheel of Responsibility, this cool shower gift can be found at wrybaby.com.

Wry Baby’s Wheel of Responsibility (Wry Baby’s popular baby shower gift) got a little love from the April 15 issue of Time Out New York Kids. The article is called SEPARATE BUT EQUAL; How to Find Parity on the Parenting Front (by Patty Onderko). Here’s what Patty had to say:

Have you ever seen that gag gift for new parents called the Wheel of Responsibility? Whenever you’re faced with an unpleasant parenting task—cleaning poop off crib railings, say, or playing peekaboo for the 753rd time—you just spin the arrow on the wheel and it lands on either Mom or Dad, instantly solving your “You’re not doing enough!” squabbles. Maybe we should take this novelty item more seriously, because real life is not so simple—or so fair. More often than not, the arrow ends up on Mom. And for women who grew up swearing they’d be the anti–June Cleaver, that’s a bitter pill to swallow.

Patty goes on to give some great pointers on how to get the baby duty divided equally without turning it into an all-out battle. A super great article and a great description of Wry Baby’s Wheel of Responsibility! The Wheel of Responsibility really is a great, fun parenting tool. And you’ll find that once your child has become more self-sufficient, he/she will even find a use for the Wheel of Responsibility. Our son used to bring The Wheel to restaurants with us and spin it himself to see who would win the honor of taking him to the restroom.

Wry Baby’s Wheel of Responsibility makes a great, fun baby shower gift for new parents whether they need it or not.

Oh, and if your looking for another fun way to stay un-divorced? Wry Baby’s Pillowcases for New Parents make a great companion to the Wheel of Responsibility. Both Wry Baby pillowcases are richly embroidered with ON DUTY on one side and OFF DUTY on the other. There are two pillowcases in each pack so new parents can determine who’s pulling the night shift BEFORE they go go to bed. Wry Baby’s Pillowcases for Parent’s are available at wrybaby.com for just $34.
