Bronx Tooter

Today was a day of firsts. Oliver received his Social Security Card and I learned that your middle name has a character limit. You are now officially on the grid! Congrats! And now we’re excited to welcome you to that wonderful tradition – the yearly free credit report review. It is a lovely tradition that we can’t wait to pass on to you.

We also took an adventure into the Bronx. You’ll be amazed at how many people don’t make it north of Manhattan and you went ahead and did it when you are 11 days old. A child prodigy? Maybe. While there, we took you to your first restaurant (an Apple Bees – don’t judge me) and Target. You slept through everything. That’s okay though – it’s hard being a baby.

Lost Socks

Oliver, I want to give you a piece of advice. After doing laundry yesterday, I prepared myself to write an apology to you on this blog. Why, you might ask (if you could talk)? Well, I lost one of your socks. I know, I know! I was going to plead for your forgiveness. As I lugged the forty pounds of laundry back into the apartment, I told this story to your mom. She told me not to worry about it and that your little sock was probably stuck in the bedsheets that I washed. And you know what? As I made the bed later that day, there it was. So the moral of the story is that you should expect to lose socks in your life, not be afraid to ask for forgiveness when you make a mistake, and that you should probably listen to your mother. She knows things.
