Welcome to the world, Ethan
So I spent Thanksgiving weekend with the family, and my brand-spanking new little nephew Ethan. He's 2 weeks old (2 1/2 weeks by the end of my trip), and the cutest little thing I've ever seen.
He and I spent a good deal of time talking - which consisted mostly of him opening his eyes once in a while and making little gurgly noises, and me making goofy sounds and funny faces. As I looked down at him and rocked him in my arms, I found myself fascinated just imagining all the adventures and possibilities his life will have in store for him... all the things he will see and do by the time he's my age. It left me wondering if, thirty four years ago, when I was 2 1/2 weeks old, anyone could have even dreamt up the person I would be today.
