B.C. | A.D. | L.B.F. | L.A.F

[kociolek6367]

You're born into this world with limited sight. Living in a chaotic swirl of black and white, searching for some stability. You've left the comforts of a warm nest, thrust into cold and open space. You search. You search. And then, She appears to you from above. Like a vision. Truly stunning. She reminds you of warmth. She sparks joy and interest. She is unlike anything you've ever seen, and now, your life can truly begin.

There was L.B.F. and now you journey through L.A.F.

Life Before Fan and Life After Fan.

Thank you, Goddess of the Ceiling.

@kociolek6367 We don't have a ceiling fan, but for my LO it was the lamp. My son loved lamp. Haha!

 

[clone93]

@mbrandan Same. There was a moment around two months when I stopped and was like “Wow, I never thought I’d feel jealous of a light fixture. Parenthood is super weird.”

 

[natalie_c]

@clone93 Omg same. Some of her first big smiles were at our living room light fixture and I cried, haha!

 

[katrina2017]

@natalie_c I’m so glad my son is not the only one giving his most loving smiles to the lamp

 

[elizabethj0nes]

@katrina2017 I also have a baby that loves lamp

 

[sleepingatlast]

@katrina2017 Yeah we get daily parties in aid of the lamp, with delighted squeals and everything. Then the plug socket joins in and she goes mad.

 

[historyismypassion]

@mbrandan My 4.5 month old still has conversations with the lamp.

 

[jacobwilliss]

@historyismypassion Same. She likes mom's phone, too though. To be fair to dad's phone, mom picked out her phone case to glitter specifically so baby would like it.

 

[historyismypassion]

@jacobwilliss Mine goes crazy for my pop socket

 

[oppmuntre]

@historyismypassion Mine was delighted when I invested in a pop socket. For one, it helps him tell them apart, and he loves to be helpful and bring you your phone if you forget it, so now I no longer have to pretend to be pleased at the gift of my partner’s phone before surreptitiously swapping. But more importantly, if I hand him the phone, he will happily push down and pull up the pop socket for like five mins straight. It’s the best.

@mbrandan It was the lamp for my baby too. When she started opening her eyes, she gazed at it endlessly in adoration and worship as if it were a god.

 

[elvent]

@mbrandan Mine absolutely loved the lamps as a newborn

 

[erickem]

@mbrandan Yes ours loves lamp too!

 

[methesinner]

@mbrandan Yes! My son worshipped the lamp goddess as well

 

[knowingjesusfellowship]

@kociolek6367 Haha...pretty sure the ceiling fan got a smile before daddy or I did!

 

[dayofgrace]

@knowingjesusfellowship My daughter is 11 months and carrying her past a particular light fixture in our house STILL gets the hugest smile, even if she’s otherwise super grumpy

 

[westernrose]

@kociolek6367 This is so funny. Our pediatrician said “your son is going to become best friends with ceiling fans soon” and while he did love the fan his ONE TRUE LOVE is doorknobs.

 

[abbiewhite]

@westernrose We have a door frame lover here! That and the shelves. If she catches sight of shelves, she's not going down to sleep any time soon.

 

[westernrose]

@abbiewhite Hahah, I love it so much. It took us forever to figure out what he was smiling and giggling at. Our theory is the doorknobs look like eyeballs, as his fave ones are double doors with black knobs.
