It’s Christmas time and so also my birthday. It’s been a wild fun 32 years and if the last week is any idea, being a parent is the best present I could have gotten. I’ve got a almost week old son and couldn’t have asked for a better gift. In some ways he’s like a puppy (cute, vulnerable and badly in need of potty training) but really he’s the absolute cutest most adorable little guy I’ve ever seen (those of you not yet parents will totally agree with me when you get the chance to have a wee one of your own).
Anyhow to all of you, Merry Christmas, Happy Hogswatch and a very happy holidays. I’m giving myself the greatest gift to match the most amazing gift Zoe and I were given: Sleep. Everything material just doesn’t have any real draw to either of us so we’re instead going to socialize by keeping our eyes closed and continue changing diapers (why is it no one ever mentions how great that is?)
Sure the next 2-3 years will be messy but at the same time it also means you get the joy of seeing something so little grow eventually into a toddler then a kid and then an adult. Wow the next 18 years are going to be quite a ride. Somehow I don’t think my halcyon years of happy insanity will compare to almost every waking moment from here on out.
Peace be with all of you and yours and if I don’t have time to post between now and then (he fills a LOT of diapers lol) Happy New Year as well!!
