I have a new friend. He’s pretty awesome.
His name is Sam (short for Samuel Rene) but Sean and I call him Crash. He’s Sean’s nephew and the son of his sister Erin and brother-in-law Rene. Sam is delicious and we’re going to be spending a lot more time with him since the whole family is moving to Buffalo THIS SUNDAY.
I asked my mom if she wanted to come help them unload/unpack as Sean’s sister has some limited mobility issues right now.
“Sure,” she replied. And then, “Wait! Where is that baby going to be?”
“He’ll be there, don’t worry, ” I told her. “You can hold him.” She took out her Blackberry and “penciled” it in, at which point I thought WHAT AM I DOING. Bringing my mom around a newborn could either be a genius move or a complete disaster.
I don’t know, you tell me. After seeing him is she going to want one of her own (i.e. a grandchild) more or less?

courtney - Hee!
Sam is absolutely adorable. Many congrats to Erin and Rene.
other Whitney - I guess she now wants one more. Sean looks like a natural!
Pat O'Connor - is that really a question? She already knows that her first grandchild will be a girl and will have sleepovers with her in her room (she told me this when discussing re-doing your room into a guest room/nursery-and “why bother-she (the baby) will sleep in my room”). So what are you waiting for???
