In re: that whole dress thing? Check this one out. The pang when this little boy is told he is not a "single lady" is heart wrenching. And so damned cute!!!

He is such a lucky little boy, and it is especially great his parents know fully how fortunate they are in each of their children. I always love reading these posts from you and Mark. <br><br>I already delight, as I watch his chronicles online, in Em's sweet temper, his humor and joy, the twinkle in his eyes, and his spirit. I just want to see him absorb everything, and form his thoughts and opinions. I really can't wait to see where he goes. He is already so much himself, Emmett Charles, that it is amazing. <br><br>Though I don't wish to make much of it, I also applaud your comments regarding that dress. But then, I've never gotten over the fact that my brother-in-law melodramatically forbade my nephew, his son, from wearing a christening gown. It wasn't my place at all, but I admit I wanted to clock him for that bit of business. And so it goes...the family of humankind. :)<br><br>--Kim Leah: How lovely!

How unbearably sweet and tender--to think of him hiding the unicorn behind the dragon. I think kids do more than make us aware of our own mortality; they also let us bear witness to the birth of human consciousness and the full range of human emotions. It's a beautiful thing.

Your sentiments are delightful, loving, and a wee bit inspiring, too.
