  1. Wow, congratulations!

    That’s quite a handsome baby boy you’ve got there.

    Now, some advice from someone who has been where you are now: Take a moment to sit down and read the newspaper. Thoroughly. You probably won’t have a chance to do that again for about six months. You and your wife are about to experience some of the best (and busiest!) moments of parenthood. Enjoy!

    Dot: -and then there’s diphtheria-tetanus, what they call dip-tet. You gotta get him dip-tet boosters yearly or else he’ll get lockjaw and night vision. Then there’s the smallpox vaccine, chicken pox and measles, and if your kid’s like ours you gotta take all those shots first to get him to take ’em. You started his bank accounts? That there’s for his orthodonture and his college. You soak his thumb in iodine you might get by without the orthodonture, but it won’t knock any off the college.

  3. I love the way all newborns look pensive and mildly disappointed. “It was so nice in there — and now I’m … here. What’s going on?”
