On the cuteness of nephews
For a person who's conversational skills consist mostly of randomly listing modes of transportation ("Bike. Car. Pwane. Pwane. Pwane...") and repeating the word "hi!" I find young Roan Grace Morgan Millar to be some of the best company I could ever imagine.
In fact, I love the youngster so much it makes me wonder how one's heart could possibly stand fatherhood. I guess the sleepless nights and mountains of shitty diapers paint a more balanced picture...
Even still, it's perplexing.
He has, of course, strengthened his cuteness case by being almost entirely tantrum free thus far in Europe. Although he did throw a mini-tantrum this morning because he didn't want me to leave for work. He just hugged me and said "no" anytime I tried to put him down. And when I finally could put off work no longer, he started to cry.
Did the ensuing wailing make me find him less cute? Not by a long shot. Those tears were mirrored by my own internal tears of joy at being, even if just for 15 sweet minutes, the favourite.
awwwww....so glad you are able to soak in all the "small" moments. We are big fans of R over here at our house!
