Poop Tables

Gentle readers, I am incapable of containing myself regarding this blog. Ever since posting , I have been thinking about changing tables.
So, as promised, changing tables! When I was younger and didn't really understand wtf was up with babies, I thought changing tables were so stupid. Why would you have a special table DEDICATED to wiping your baby's ass? I realize now that you need one because why on earth would you risk getting shit on your dining room table or your couch or even your floor. you need a dedicated shit table. I realize that with a baby, shit/piss/vomit is probably going to get on these other things anyway, but still.

Gulliver Changing Table, IKEA, $60

For our changing table options, I again find myself favoring the IKEA things. I'm going to be honest, probably 89% of the links/pictures on here are going to be to IKEA. I love their children's stuff and it's amazingly cheap. I actually tried looking a few other places to see if I liked something else that I could link so I didn't seem like such an IKEA freak. A changing table from Babies R Us is about $130. Anddddddd. No. The IKEA changing tables are nice and simple and (have I emphasized this enough yet?) cheap. There are several different kinds but the one on the left is $60 and matches the white crib I linked earlier. There is also a $70 one that matches (almost) the birch crib as well. I kind of like the birch ones more, but the white ones do match the bookshelf... It would be TOO much white though if every thing were white in this room. Yuck. I like a lot of color! Changing tables aren't that exciting overall. It's pretty much just choose a cheap one that has shelves for all your poop-catchers (aka diapers).

Solutions by Kids R Us, Toys R Us, $150

 This one to the right is pretty nice as well. It has a little drawer and shelves! And knobs on the drawer to maybe hang stuff off of? The birch adds a nice natural feel to it. It's definitely on the more expensive side at $150. These are all without the stupid little mat things you have to put in them, which aren't all that expensive (around $10), but still why doesn't the mat come with it? Dumb. Like I'm really going to put Baby down on that cold hard surface so that he/she/ze cries even more because, let's face it, diaper changing is already usually traumatic. 
Today I've been applying for a lot of day care/preschool teacher jobs and I feel like I should be able to use this blog as a reference. "See? I'm not making it up. I really love kids. Like TOO much. But not in a creepy way."
I spotted some AWESOME storage furniture (that will never in a million years fit into this tiny apartment) at IKEA so I think that will be the next topic for discussion. Where to Store the Toys.
