The newest member of the family

Here he is, meet Caige ...



... my new grandchild. This is him in his natural state. Claire is currently painting him "daffodil". She is also insisting his nickname is "Waffle". Just a regular evening in my household. Are you afraid?

This is a new experiment as part of health class at school. I had to laugh when it was all explained to me as things have changed since my day. None of the kids are pairing with anyone else, this is clearly a single-parent idea. I love that she is in such a progressive learning environment :)

Chloe is exclaiming how "cute" he is and asking if she can "babysit". Oh, the insanity of it all!

No doubt I will be posting the occasional update. Fingers crossed Claire doesn't drop him.

Here is the first mother and son portrait:
