You might be a Ren parent if.............

well when the little bean comes (she is due August 18-MDRF opens up August 27). We plan on going in late September/October. With little bean in tow.  Her garb is completed!

LOL!  Daughter #3 was 10 days old when I brought her to closing day of Fest 2009.  I wanted to take her the weekend following her birth but the husband wouldn't allow it.  For SOME reason he thought that it was more important to stay home and let family meet her.  =(

Since the little pirate, was considered preemie (not by size, but gestation) I was out voted on taking him out to TRF...he did however go to Scarby (at 7 mos) and ten went to TRF the next time when he was 1 yr. old...been attending faires ever since and loves it...he really gets a kick out of wearing his pirate garb and his kilt...we are already prepping for TRF this year, he will be 3 and I can't wait to experience it through his eyes...

LadyFae, as long as this one is 2 weeks old, she will be going with us.  We have a pram for her, with a little fan to keep her cool.  She will be a ren baby

Ok, soon as this came out of the PP's mouth I knew I had to post it here. 

If the OBGYN offers to let you schedule  your induction if you haven't delivered naturally by a week before your due date, and the first thing out of your spouse's mouth is.."Can she arrive on the [september] 19th?"
Docotr: "Why that particular day?  Someone's birthday?"
Spouse: "Oh no, nothing like that. It's talk like a pirate day.  That way for the rest of her life she could have a 'pirate' birthday."
Both you  AND the doctor look at him like he is off his rocker.
Doctor: "And here I thought you were one of my 'normal' parents.

When you asked your newly turned six year old if she can speak with a British accent and she replies, with a quite nice accent- "Lady Mother, I would like to ride the pony." I am so giddy about it that I've been having her repeat it to everyone!

Not quite renny, but a definite geek achievement: ask my 4 year old what to do if she see a zombie, and she will matter-of-factly state "Hit it in the brain with a shovel". On one occasion, just to see how she would react, I asked what she would do without a shovel. She looked at me for a moment, and replied "Hit it in the head with a hammer"

That is just cool... period.

I've heard her! It's quite good!

Your 6 yr old wants to get a WII ... (seems normal and totally non-Ren) ... you think 6 is a little young, and ask WHY do they want a WII?  Answer:  So we can play Pirates of the Carribean.
If we can't get a WII, what else do you want for your birthday?  Answer: A long bow.

So very cool!!

The Doctor is most likely going to induce me on the 23 of September but the PP is still wishing she will arrive on her own time on the 19th.  Such a goober.

When you are glad that your son arrives 9 days early so that he will be a month old for his first renfaire.

[LissaRoisin]

You consider which tartan to get for your son's first kilt a big decision

[LadyStitch]

Oh the fuzzlet has as much garb outfits as regular clothing.  Last year at TRF people asked us what we would do if she got her outfit messy.  We told them just change her into her next ren outfit.  I think we packed 5.
