Sleep, A Haiku

We begrudge the baby nothing, but it would be nice if both of use could get some sleep overnight at the same time.

About The Parenting Thing

People keep asking me what it’s like going back to parenting a newborn after a *fifteen year hiatus*. For the most part, it’s just fine.

He was a bit dubious about the whole affair, given some of the things he’d gone through at the hospital, but all in all he did well. Since we were near the supermarket we decided to head out quick and pick up some supplies. It was Bump’s first outing!
