I didn’t know where to put this image of a bright eyed, young man that had no idea what was in store for him.  That innocent baby with everything ahead of him.  I opted for right near the door of my bedroom, above the light switch.  Now I see it everyday… As I wake at 1:30am and flip on the light, there is Little Jack.  It’s only been hanging for three days, but I’ve looked at it a lot, I’ve thought about it a lot.  when I see it, I want to grab up my kids and hover over them making sure everything goes perfectly… Making sure they don’t make the mistakes this baby made.

Tonight, I was sitting on my bed with Bing waiting for Lucy to pick out some books to read before going to sleep… This is our routine, bath, jammies, read books, brush teeth, toddlers snoring 15 to 20 minutes later.  As we waited Bing quizzed me on some of the stuff in my room, ultimately fixing his gaze on the baby photo… He asked “Is that Lucy?”  I told him no, “Is that me?”, again the answer was no.  He was lost, he knows because I tell him all the time, I only have two babies.  I told him, “That’s Daddy when he was a baby.”  He stared at it for a few seconds longer, looked at me and says “Where’s your mustache?”

From this day on that photo will make me laugh every morning at 1:30a.
