Congratulations.
I have a 4YO and while at times he drives me crazy, he is still the best thing ever.
Until my wife is ready to tell her parents, they know nothing we do, and I have not invited my parents to any birthday party, not sure why just trying to keep the peace, because I am still testing the water, so to speak.
We have taken him to several birthday parties, including a couple of extendend family's. It did seem weird at first, having never done it myself in the past, but that was only for a moment.
We got the drop-in memorial invitation while cleaning the garage, I think they have been practicing sneaking up on people.
We don't have pets at our house, the in-laws have a small dog, and it is like she knows it is a baby and to be careful.
It is great to hear from you again. I enjoy seeing others move on.
