Howie turned three years old yesterday. We celebrated by completely forgetting it was his birthday until late afternoon. When it occurred to us, we called the toy we bought him a few weeks ago his early birthday gift, gave him an extra treat, and called it a day.

He’s going to have to get used to injustices like this in the coming months. I’m so sorry we’re about to ruin your life by bringing a baby into it, Howie.
