Make Room at the Table

As the holidays approach, I'm being reminded that this will be the last year that we will have sans baby. Definitely not a bad thing, but it puts the reality of the whole fatherhood thing into a sharper perspective. Next year, we'll be visiting family with a diaper bag over the shoulder, car seat locked down in the back, and baby in tow. We're used to just bringing over some Italian cookies.

So for this Thanksgiving, we'll just have a bun in the oven. By this time next year, we'll need an extra table setting with baby-safe flatware, and a high chair. (And maybe some extra wine on the table for daddy.) Happy Thanksgiving to all.
