Daddy Post

Little-Man,
For starters, let me say welcome to the family and I hope you've enjoyed your first month with us (I know your big sister has). Actually i think she is becoming more accustomed to you being around. At least she...tolerates you being here. There is a certain sense of completion now that you are here. Not that things were imperfect before you were born (your sister is totally going to use this against me when she is sixteen) just that it is nice having a boy and a girl.
I must say this first month has been a bit hectic getting acclimated to the changes. I can't count the number of times your mother called me home for "lunch" just so I could watch you while she put Aria to sleep. The next hurdle was us getting you to sleep for the night while getting your sister ready for bed. Follow that up with us waking up and trading positions in the middle of the night to put her back to sleep while at the same time making sure you are not fussing. It has been an interesting juggling act to say the least. But, I think we are getting used to it...I think.
So I'm trying to come up with a more original nickname for you and so far I've got Imperial Probe Droid or IPD for short. It's due to all the little grunts and growl sounds you make when you want something. Not sure if we will stick with that but it's something for now. This all just reminds me that I have to sit down and outline the schedule for watching the saga starting this month.
Well, I can't wait to see what new excitement you will bring to our lives next month and for the years to come. Welcome aboard IPD...Little-Dude...Ash...meh, I'll think of something.

Love,

Dad
