The Dangerous Book for Boys

This was actually one of my Christmas presents to the Romgi. We’ve skimmed through it before but I thought with the Bwun coming it would be handy to have our own copy.

The book makes me wish I’d had a more adventurous childhood, or that I’d known the Romgi when we were kids and I could have explored the creek with him. It’s a great instruction manual and guide for being an awesome little boy, so I have great hopes of the Bwun growing up well. Maybe we’ll even end up back east for a few years and he can roam around the countryside at our summer home (ha!).

Definitely recommended; if you don’t have boys, try The Daring Book for Girls.

The Bwun is very good at looking suspiciously at everyone and everything. I told the Romgi that I think the Bwun must be a secret agent or something, because he always seems so wary. We mentioned this to our neighbors recently, and as we were talking, the Romgi came up with a new nickname for the Bwun.

Presenting:

Double-oh-Evan.

Fabulous

What a week it’s been. I’ve decided that I may quite possibly have the best life ever.

Did you hear about this? Click here to read the Romgi’s blog post with details of the Bwun’s birth and another exciting announcement. A hint what it’s about:

Aside from that, we’ve been getting used to the Bwun and parenting in general. It’s difficult – as many of you know – but very, very fabulous. We tried to get a decent picture of the Bwun while he was awake…

He looks kind of bug-eyed...

But he's just so cute!

Then the Romgi wanted to take a picture of the Bwun and me both zonked out. I swore up and down that the Bwun wouldn’t sleep in our room, but here he is in our bed. He wakes up if he realizes that no one is holding him. Sad!
