Hi Will, This is your great Aunt Barb. Welcome to the family! I am really enjoying your blog; it will help us faraway relatives keep up to speed on your comings and goings -- not to mention your weight. As far as your over-crowded crib goes, there is definitely a brightside. I blame my horrible allergies not on the fact that I live in a town built on a swamp, but on the fact that I had no pets growing up. A few months in that crib and you'll be golden. No Claritin in your future kid. Love you and looking forward to meeting you someday... G.A. Barb
Thanks, G.A.Barb. I hadn't thought of that. The other day I was wondering if anyone out there could serve as a cautionary tale regarding the importance of histamines to a growing boy. Appreciate you stepping up to the plate.
I love you, too. Sorry we won't get to meet this weekend at Mary's wedding. I really really want to go. I always cry at weddings. Also when I poop my pants and/or need a bottle.
But I'm out of luck this time. Can't seem to find a sitter for my mommy and daddy. Also I never got an invitation. Was it something I said? Seems strange since I don't know how to talk. Maybe it was something I spat up???
There was plenty of spitting up at the wedding. Just ask your Aunt Claire or your Cousin Claire -- they were both involved... Hey I have been meaning to ask if you got the present I sent? I don't want to bother your folks, who might think I am fishing for a Thank You. I'm really not, but I sent gift cards in the mail and that might not have been the smartest thing to do... I know online is safer but it's so much more fun to actually get something to open, don't you think?
What is wrong with these parents of mine? Every day I scream at them to get those thank you notes out but they keep misinterpreting it, thinking instead that I want to be fed.
I really gotta start using my words one of these days because now I'm ballooning up faster than a bruised goiter and no one has any idea how deeply grateful we all are. Maybe I have to start gathering people's addresses for them myself...
Regardless, the answer is yes. I was delighted to receive your generous gift. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Btw - I'm headed to NYC at the end of April. Maybe you have some business to attend to there on Friday, April 29?? I can't wait to meet you...and Lord knows the banking industry isn't gonna keep itself honest. Am I right or am I right?
You couldn't be more right. In fact you get right-er every day! New York, eh? You really get around for being so young and all. You really think you are up for a cross-country flight? I guess the better question is are your parents up for it? Then again if you are really well behaved (read sleep the whole way) that'll give em time to write those TY notes. Everyone's a winner. Seriously please tell them that G.A.B. (hey I like that acronym. You don't know me yet but it's fitting.) does not expect a physical note. I just wanted to be sure it got there safely. Will check my sked and get back to you on the 29th! Would be fantastic to rendezvous.
