We be having one.
Well. I'll be doing the having. And we'll all be doing the keeping.
The youngest and the oldest of the children are happy, and the middle child does a lot of waffling. I think it will all depend on the accessories that are involved with this new person. Will it get tiny, little things that he can play with, too? Fancy shoes? Then he might be swayed in its favour. Will it smell bad? Well then, get in line.
I feel like I actually lost my mind a little while we were making this decision, and I know that again, I'm probably not alone in feeling this way when it comes to these sorts of things. These feelings are probably amplified by the way we have chosen to build our family so far.
But never mind that this minute. February, formerly my least favourite month, is quickly moving up in the ranks.
