Dearest Little Sir,

Boy do we love you.  And we are so glad that you’ve joined our family.  Sure, you may be causing Daddy and me to get far less sleep than we’d like right now, but that’s okay.  You’re worth it.

But I digress.  I wanted to write you a little note to forewarn you about the crazy that you have come into.  Because let’s be honest, our family is a whole lotta crazy.  And wild and messy and loopy and fun.

If you don’t believe me, just ask your siblings…

Ahhh, your siblings.  Where do I begin?  In short, my dear boy, they are OUT OF CONTROL.

I mean, in just the past 2 days I have caught them playing in the bathtub (fully dressed!) while they covered themselves in conditioner; drawing all over their arms, feet, faces and the office chair in highlighter pen; and using hand soap to do finger-painting on the bathroom walls!

Did I mention the OUT OF CONTROL part yet?  Ay caramba!  I can’t even begin to think what kinds of kooky tricks they are going to teach you when you grow up…

Your Daddy and I will do our very best to protect you from the nuttiness that abounds in our home…at least while you’re small.  But thanks to your propensity for late-night bonding sessions we’re oh-so tired and sleep deprived, so we can’t make any promises.

The good news is that your Big Sis and Bro love you – and each other – so very very much.

And teamed up with them I know you are going to have ridiculous amounts of FUN in the days and years ahead.

So welcome to the family, Little Sir.  Your Daddy and I look forward to watching you grow and take on the world, all with the help and encouragement of your Big Sister and Brother.

So go forth.  Be wild.  Have fun.

Just try not to burn the house down in the process.

Love,
Your Devoted (and Overwhelmed) Mama

P.S.  Just to further emphasize my point, I’ve included a little video for your viewing pleasure.
