Nostalgia

Our baby bassinet has been sitting in our storage room for over two years now. We bought it a month before Scarlett was born, almost 6 years ago. A year after she was born, the bassinet was recalled. Having a hectic life at that time (looking back now, we didn't even know what hectic was as life was easier when we only had one kid), we didn't rush to return the recalled bassinet. It sat in our storage room until the second one came around. We figured that there's probably very low risk in using it, so we used it for Elliot. A couple of months after his birth, the bassinet went back to the storage room. I finally got around to taking it back to Target today, where we bought it from, since we can't in good conscious give away a recalled bassinet. (Although, I have mixed feelings about recalls. True, that a few children may have died to cause a company to recall an item but our crib tent was recalled and we still use it for Elliot. The chance of him getting hurt by the crib tent is miniscule compared to the chance of him hurting himself trying to climb out of his crib.) To my surprise, we got our money back, despite how long we've had the bassinet. Even though I see it every time I go to the storage room, actually pushing it from my car to the Target store brought back nostalgia of the kids sleeping in there as babies. Maybe that's why I'm a pack rat...
