Babies...

I never really had a "soft spot" in my heart for babies. Sure, I'll help out with feeding, changing, baby-sitting, etc... but when I see a baby I don't have the facial expression or tone of voice which conveys, "aww, how precious; what a cute little guy/girl." I happen to think babies are quite annoying actually. Honestly, all they do is cry, eat and sleep.

Several of my friends are having babies (some not for the first time). Cory/Lyndsay, Patch/Sarah, Devin/Kimberly, Matt/Olivia, Andy/Sarah, Kolby/Emily, and the list probably goes on...Two of these guys were college roommates (that's scary). Some other friends of mine are adopting/fostering. Greg/Rebekah, Jason/Traci, Gary/Nina...that's a lot of kids.

All of my friends who have children say my attitude will change when my newborn comes into this world. They're probably right, but until then I am happy thinking of having children way down the road and I'll enjoy my sleep, spare time and money (other than that which I already give my wife). But, congrats to all my peeps who are having/have children. When my turn comes around, your kids will be old enough to babysit for me.

Well, the idea is for you to get respite approved so you can PLAY with our babies to your hearts content (or Audrey's heart anyway). You can do it!
