When my brother was born, my family brought him a lamb stuffed animal in the hospital. Unsurprisingly, my mother still has this. When I was born, they did the same. Mom still has this one too. For Emmett’s birth, I’m going to bring him the above. His name is Captain Lambface Von PuffyPants. And he has come to snuggle.
En route to the office, stopped in to get the requisite TDAP vaccination at the flagship Walgreens on State St. Everyone who comes in copious contact with the baby needs the shot, per the hospital. In the waiting area I pondered how dramatically life will change in just a few short days, and how sweet my McAllister Wingtips looked today. But more about the kid really.
I had this copper pendant & gunmetal chain necklace – stamped with the little fellow’s initial – made from a talented Etsy seller. It feels good being on my person throughout the day, before he’s born. Curious if he’ll emerge with a beard as awesome as his old man’s. No judgment if not.
This is the first article of clothing I’ve bought for the boy. I feel the way a man dresses should portray a definitive sense of self, complete confidence in his person, knowledge in the fashion he’s wearing and why, and the clear purpose that they are in fact planning on being Batman.
