I would call the makeup “2 Weeks and 192 Months.” It would have incredible camouflaging capabilities to hide the dark circles resulting from the lack of sleep that a mother has when her baby is two weeks old and again when her baby is 192 months old, which is age sixteen. When your baby is an infant, being up at two in the morning for overnight feedings is simply what you have to do, a parent’s responsibility. You do not have a choice. Your newborn is like an alarm clock going off every two or three hours, day and night, in desperate need of your attention. When your babies are sixteen, they may not want your attention at all and can go to great lengths to avoid it, but I’ve found that it’s the age when they may need your attention even more. When your baby is two weeks old, you can’t imagine him ever wanting to be in anyone else’s arms than yours. At 192 months old, about 90 percent of a teenager’s energy goes into thinking about what other arms he could possibly be in, or whose arms might be ignoring him now.
