Congrats. What did you have?

After months of discussing the pros and cons of finding out the gender, we just found out we are having a boy (we already have three girls).

As it turns out, a mouse and a kitten.

And your kid, if so named, will look like the one on the cover. Which I'm sure you did.

So he's not quite into it yet. My thought is to find him age-appropriate graphic novels or something else with pictures that's age-appropriate and plot driven that he'll want to read on his own. Tintin is one though, though some of the vocabulary is a little advanced. Any other suggestions?

Update: This has totally done the trick. L'il Ty keeps slipping away to read it.

The latest additon to the sandwich clan arrived about a week ago. He's a handsome little guy. He has joined a rather noisy household populated by three older sisters (ages 7, 5, and 3).

And with that, I am done procreating.

Thanks all. Yes, the older sisters are crazy about him.

Nearly unanimously voted duke of homecoming of his freshman class by school's female populace.

Senior girls have started calling.

Dad is simply unable to give him any kind of advice.

Tell him to be nice -- he likes hockey, right? Tell him that the chicks much prefer* the Lady Byng winners to the Maurice "Rocket" Richard winners.** And to always wear a condom (phrased as "look, don't be stupid, but if you're going to be stupid, don't be a complete idiot") while throwing him a box of these:



*Response to the obvious snort of laughter to follow: "well, the smart ones do."

**For those non-hockey fans, the Lady Byng award is given to the player who best exhibits "gentlemanly conduct," while the Rocket Richard award is given to the regular season scoring leader.
