Jessica:    ”we also need to get those child safety belts for the new TV- to secure it”

Me:            ”yeah, but we have plenty of time before we need that.”

Jessica:    ”what are you talking about?”

Me:            ”the baby isn’t due until June 1st”

Jessica:    ”Sean, we have a kid. Right now”

I totally forgot we have a one year old .

(In my defense: we were talking about the new baby for the previous fifty minutes, and it was hard to exit from that
mindset).

 

Jessica’s response (later that night): “I mean, come on- how can you forget some thing this
cute”:

Background Info: it looks like we are dressing our kid as a
laughably-fat karate instructor in this photo, but, in truth, it is Colin’s doing. He saw me
waking up, wearing a headband (because I have to wear a sleep apnea mask to bed…
…which is a whole different, long story). So, later that night when he was told he would have
to go to bed soon- he ran into our room and put on a headband. I suppose he thought: all men
wear headbands to bed.
