baby einstein and his counterparts

so, your mom and i have been wondering just how much tv and video games would be too much for you. we know we don't want very much for you in the first place. books are the way to go. we'll read to you and eventually have you read to us. sci fi? yes please. your first book report could potentially be ender's game. your mom probably wants it to be harry potter, but we both know better, don't we?

there will be so much music in the house too. we'll have the standards, of course: weezer, led zepplin, van halen, etc. but we'll also be sure you get a fair amount of all genres. you may love hip-hop or country or just dig on 18th century russian classical. we'll even allow some plain ol' top forty now and again. we just want you to enjoy the art that others have made before you.

oh and by the way, that voice you keep hearing up next to the wall of your current residence is mine. you seem to either be happy about it and start kicking like crazy or you're annoyed that some jackass is constantly waking you up and telling you about his day. yeah, i'm that jackass. you might want to get used to that voice because your daddy talks a lot.

life moves so fast

hey little buddy. so we've learned that you are a boy. we're so excited about you. more so than ever. your mom and i have been registering for all sorts of fun things (and not so fun things) for all of us to use. (from what i hear, the diaper genie will be a lifesaver.) i'm still taking pictures of your mom as you can see. we actually have some pics of you in the belly too, but i broke the scanner somehow and still haven't been able to figure it out.



i'm sure you're not too worried about it though. you've been too busy kicking your mom. sometimes when i talk to you, i can actually feel you kicking the side of my head. pretty strong legs you got there, kiddo.

so, it's the beginning of summer right now and it is so hot and muggy. you'll love this time of year because you'll get to get all dirty and play in the yard. your grandparents have already started buying you all sorts of cool things to play with. unfortunately, your grandma dizzy thinks you'd be cuter as a little foppish boy. don't worry. we'll dress you up, take the photos and burn any physical remains of the nauseatingly queer clothing she has purchased for you.
