Bud the Teacher

    Sometimes my online life and my offline one seem to blur together a little bit — and I forget to tell one group things that I’ve told the other — and vice versa.  This became clear to me yesterday when I was having a chat and mentioned that we were preparing Ani to move to a "big girl bed" in order to free up her crib for her soon to be born sister.
    The thing is, I hadn’t mentioned that we were expecting.  So I’m mentioning it. 
    Ani’s going to be a big sister on or around graduation day in late May of this year.   Pretty cool, huh?
    As I’m writing this, Ani is sleeping for (her mother and I hope) the last time in a crib.  Her new bed arrives tomorrow, and we begin the process of sleeping in a bed.  Cross your fingers for us, okay?  It’s certainly not a big deal, but it’ll add a little stress and excitement to our lives.
    I hope it goes well.  I’m a little sad, though, as my little girl’s already beginning to outgrow pieces of her world.   Man,  it’s all happening so fast.
    In fact, soon, she won’t be my little girl anymore.  That title, like the crib, will soon pass to her sister.
