25 weeks and counting......

Dear Oliver, this is Mommy, Daddy and ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Oliver, this is Mommy and ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Dear Oliver, this is Daddy and ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See a pattern?


Well, my little brother Oliver is not too far away as we enter this Memorial Day weekend. As I look at my calender, it appears he will be here in just 15 weeks. I thought it would be best if I posted some of my newborn photos up here today along with a few ground rules for the new guy on campus!

1. I am the senior sibling! Questions?
2. I hold every right to assault you without reason.
3. Sharing? Right, get over it. It was mine to begin with and now your "borrowing it."
4. Food- I have the first right of refusal on all food items
5. You will change my diapers on command, no questions asked.
6. Mommy and Daddy are on my side.
7. You're in my world now O-Dawg
8. Finally, an article that was printed in the New York Times

Oldest Kids Take Lead in Sibling Rivalry – Big siblings have long suspected it, and now science backs them up: Oldest children have slightly higher IQs than younger kids. Family dynamics, not biological factors, account for the 3-point discrepancy, which holds up for children who become the oldest after the firstborn dies. That tiny gap may mean the difference between a "name" college and a state school.
Oldest kids don't just get more parental attention—they benefit from mentoring younger siblings. Researchers looked at records for Norwegian men and say the results, which appear today in the journal Science, likely extend to women. The sample, of more than 240,000 men, was large enough to be significant, the Times reports; one psychologist calls it "a dream come true."Source: New York Times


I think this says it all. See ya in 15 weeks!
Love,
Your Big Brother Graham
P.S.- At least you're not a chick! We would really have issues then!

G-Dawg masters the remote


I always hear my mommy asking daddy, 'where's the remote?'. So I figured I should master this thing rather quickly. If it's important enough for my daddy, it's important enough for me! With that in mind, here's a few thoughts:
I don’t think remote controls promote a sedentary lifestyle. Most people exert more energy looking for the remote than they would by just getting up and turning on the TV.

I don’t think the remote control gets lost. I think my wife just hides it from me.
Kids used to fight over which TV show to watch. Now they just fight over the remote.
Remote controls are very valuable. They let you see that there’s nothing on TV worth watching a lot faster.

I wish I had a remote control for my mother-in-law. I’d have her on mute most of the time.
