Part of the Club

About a week ago MBB and I joined a club. It's not terribly exclusive, but until now membership had alluded us. We know so many people who belong, and heard stories of different events and trial and tribulations associated with joining, and then it happened. Last Tuesday morning.

We had a son.

When you have a girl baby, you just have a baby, go home, and move on with things. Apparently, having a boy is different, it's a whole new world for us, and it's colored in blue. Literally. Everything is blue. Honestly, there's got to be another color that males can wear, or toys they can play with, or accessorize in.

Blue, as lovely as it is, and as many hues as it comes in, is, well, blue. Not to say that he isn't adorable in blue, but I'd like to see what other colors are out there. More than anything I think MBB is thrilled that we can give away most of the boxes that are in the attic, and he's trying to figure out if they make seer sucker outfits for very very very very small men.

So as we cherish all our kids, we are gearing up for life as a mixed gendered family, which, we can imagine is probably quite different.

You think he'll like Barbies?

This kid is gonna have SO MANY Mommies, his poor little head is gonna be spinning!!!

I fully expect all the little girls to abandon their Barbies and begin dressing *him* up in frilly headbands... just wait!

But seriously - all our best mazel tov wishes on this wonderful simcha.
