No...this is not a typo. It really was 'bumb's away' tonight off of one of La Jolla's beautiful and scenic cliffs. Bumbo that is. You know, the cool ingenious baby seat that came out a few years ago? We were picnicing with my brother, Manny, and my sister-in-law, Susan when it happened. I had Zack sitting in his Bumbo, when I lifted him out of it, the Bumbo tipped over and starting rolling. It caught momentum and before we knew it, it had gone over the cliff. Man, can those things roll!! Anyway, there I was standing a few feet from the edge bidding farewell to one of my favorite baby items. I mean, come on, it was in the ocean now...never to be seen again. I called Miguel on his cell to tell him about my sad situation (they had gone on a walk to see the seals). He walked out onto the beach, went treading through the water, and fished out our blue Bumbo. My hero! He has always been my little hero. Anyone who knows Miguel knows he is so reliable, and so smart, and so willing to go the extra mile for anyone. He always does for me. All's well, that ends well.
