You're a Pern fan, Pam?
I love the way kids play with teddy bears. With my first toddler, I spent ages hitting the pause button and snapping pictures from various angles, because she was just so cute with her bear!
I usually try to keep one unemployed adult in the house who has time to both look after the baby and their needs, so if they get up in the middle of the night, they can nap in the day. I will say that I consider the babies' fast dropping bars to be no more than a nod to realism. When I had my son, I don't recall having anywhere near as much time to attend to my needs as the Sims do. My bars were all in the red for a good six weeks!
