boys boys boys!

We had our 20-week ultrasound today, and the Armadillo's parts are all in the right places, including the boy-part. mr. flea immediately said, "I can pass down all my little brother annoying techniques!"

I am a little bit back to "Ack! What do I know about boys!" But as mr. flea points out, he has some experience with boys, and really, not that different from girls except for the plumbing. Certainly at first, anyway.

Now wasn't I clever to always buy unisex clothes?

As an aside, my mother has decided to disdain the nickname 'the Armadillo' preferring to call him 'Adirondack.' She also wouldn't call Casper by our nickname, but had a tendency to refer to her as 'Carparthia Rastafaria." Conclusion? My mother is a control freak, also possibly kooky.

Heh. Kooky Fleamom.

But yay, a Mr. Armadillo!

Yay, boy!

Among other things, Adirondack is a brand of baseball bat. Maybe when he's working his way up the Sox farm system, you'll be able to look back and snicker.

Congratulations on all the appropriately located pieces-parts!

Boys. WTF! You did have one for a little brother, as you'll recall. Not that I would wish upon you that dervish, although his adult incarnation worked out reasonably.

Boy-newborns tend to have an exaggerated startle response, in contrast to girls. They open up their eyes wide, and stiffen their backs and throw their arms out in Jesus-pose, at the slightest provocation. (But don't necessarily cry any more or less.)

Boydom makes the name-conundrum harder. Hm.

Whee! (Go Edward, choose Edward...)

mr. flea said, "It makes me think of Eddie Haskell..." Hmpf.

He also said of Paul "It makes me think of the Bible..." Man needs to do less thinkin'.

Boys are good. A boy's best friend is his momma, and he'll tell you so at 5, 15, 25, and upwards.
