As we drove home from school, I noted that the baby was strangely quiet. Apparently, ES was concerned about the baby crying during his drum lesson at 5, so the teacher agreed to wait and turn the baby on at 6 p.m. I'm pretty sure he is already aware that a real infant never comes with an on/off option.
Actually, I was surprised at my boy's lack of embarrassment over the baby (aside from the demand for a ride home from school). He asked if he can go to the school football game after his drum lesson. He's lucky it wasn't twins; then, he'd learn that plans can remain fairly uninterrupted when you have just one child, but two is another story.
Since ES's room is right next to ours, I'm making him and the baby sleep in the room off of the garage.
I asked ES if he had given the baby a name. His reply, "I don't know."
With a name like that and a 13 year old father, that baby must be destined for trouble. I must add that I was hardly surprised at all when I discovered that this newest addition to our family is ... ANOTHER BOY!!!!

Oh man, this should be required in every school in America. I cannot wait to hear how this turns out and what his thoughts are after the assignment is due.
And I'm really shocked that he still wants to go to the football game and his drum lesson with the baby. He's taking the baby with him, right?
Please, please provide an update when this assignment is completed.
This is great! And oddly funny. They do this in high school here and I already can't wait for my kids to experience it!
Like cardio girl said...I am hoping for updates! ;)
CG and Amy - Yes, there will definitely be an update. I just didn't feel up to it tonight (not from lack of sleep, but from fatigue from a bad cold). I was actually about to post an update at midnight last night because I was feeling so amused at ES's frustration level. Hee-hee!
