The first child/grandchild sets off a shock wave of changes within the family. Parents become grandparents; children become parents/uncles/aunts; and unsuspecting couples become guardians to a helpless eating, pooping, and sleeping machine. One of the biggest decisions that almost everyone involved must make is what to call themselves. Are you a grandma or a nana? Are you an Uncle James or Uncle Jim? I think I'll stick with the old standby, Dad, but every now and then request a Pops. What will you choose?
We've completed our tour of gift-getting. Thank you everyone for your generosity. It's amazing how much stuff we have, but it's even more amazing that everyone was so kind to give it to us. We appreciate it very much! The next step is to fill in any missing things we need with one more trip to Babies 'R Us. Exciting, exciting.
Work has been busy, so I hope this crumb of a post will hold off some of the more ravenous of you for a little while until I can write something more substantial.
Babies words of wisdom: "You may think 'Airplane' quotes are funny, but wait until I quote 'Sing-Along Sally Sings in the Sahara' every 5 seconds for 3 weeks straight."
