Daddy Democrat II: The Sequel
It’s been a quiet summer in Lake Wobe-blog.
Scratch that. It’s been an eventful summer, but I’ve been building up my reserves and ignoring the blog. The biggest news item can now be shared. We’re adoptin’ a baby boy, and we’re all-a-twitter with anticipation, and a little bit crazy with preparations. When you have a biological child, you have those seductive months of procrastination to savor. When the baby falls out of the sky, you just shut up and get movin’. I’m glad we already have raised one, or we’d be bonkers right now.
The boy formerly known as “the lad” will need a new handle. And his baby brother needs one too. Feel free to post creative suggestions in the comments.
Congratulations! And wahoo! And hooray!
Is the lad still on his Star Wars kick? If so, maybe he could go by Skywalker or Chewie. As for the little one, maybe R2, as a nod to his older brother’s obsession?
The Elder Scion. The Senior Representative from Wallingford. That’s Mr. Lad to You. The Not-Quite-So Boy. Offspring the First.
Still somewhat on Star Wars, but moving very actively into Ben10 Alien Force and Pokemon, which don’t translate as well for the grown-up audience.
Still, if I did have to pick a Star Wars handle, and I didn’t pick the obvious one…you know, I think I’d call the elder C3P0. Tall, skinny, and unmercifully chatty.
If you call the child formerly known as the lad C3PO, you can then call the newest addition R2D2: smaller, emitting indecipherable noises, but carrying a message of hope for the galaxy.
Congrats Eric! So happy for you guys. Look forward to meeting Bryan around the town some day!
