another interesting date

Today the boys are three weeks old and today is also the original due date.  For someone who was only supposed to join us today, they boys have done quite a lot already - they have seen a few places and met many important people.  They are both well over 6 lb, and looks like they are well on the way to being well-adjusted citizen of this world.  And of this country - they have health insurance and social security numbers.  To be closely followed, no doubt, by junk mail, voting information, and AARP pamphlets.

wolves and bears my ass.  these are two chipmunks!  after the 10pm feeding.

The boys have also celebrated in their usual style.  Benjamin set a personal best by peeing on dad three times in one diaper change.  The aim is definitely improving.  Perhaps, I am also getting slower and worse at dodging.  Benjamin also managed to poop on the socks he was wearing, to say nothing of the usual assortment of targets that were annihilated.  I suppose, briefly washing his socks is easier that washing his feet and toes, or pretty much giving him a bath.

I continue to happily pull all sorts of poop duty.  The phrase "ваше место возле параши" (Russian prison slang for 'your cot is by the shit can' designating low prisoner rank) resonates well with assessment made by HH shortly after the kids were born: "you are now the fourth most important person in your family".
