Raven enjoys the simple things in life.  She likes to eat her socks.  She loves to play with empty soda bottles.  Towels provide lots of entertainment.  I feel like as a society, we spend SO much money on stuff for babies when hand-me-downs work just fine, store brand formula/diapers are just like the name brands, and soda bottles can be more entertaining than a $20 sensory toy.  At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if she is wearing Burberry and $50 headbands.  If Raven wants to spend the day in sweat pants possibly from 1985 that were her father's, she will.  She is happy, well fed, and loved.   I hope my daughter always has this mindset.  Whether she is rolling in dough, or barely paying her bills, she finds pleasure in the simple things like she does now (though eating socks at 21 might look a little awkward).
