The New Boy

The New Boy joined us this weekend. He's still fresh, but like a car, once you drive them off the lot they depreciate quickly. Also, like a car, they require air freshener.

The Mrs. refers to this one as her "contract extension" baby, so in 18 years we go on year-to-year status.

The Boy likes The New Boy, which is good. I'm certain that wedgies will start once diapers are off, as will noogies, swirlies, and covering The New Boy in mud. As near as I can tell, that sort of behavior is as instinctual as breathing.

The Boy has had some issues. If you've ever seen a four-year-old walk down the hall complaining that he's being kicked by the baby he's carrying inside his abdomen, I think you know what I mean. If you haven't, well, let's just say it's a bit disconcerting.
