Phin, the fishnet wearing half of Apothegm Designs, just had his life get a whole lot more enjoyable.

Congratulations are in order, with a warning.

As you bask in the glow of your firstborn, those who are jealous of your sweet reward will now besiege you with a calvacade of "enjoy it now, wait until he's 2."

Then, when their hopes at your misery are dashed, the "wait until he's..." will generally progress upwards every 4 years or so, concluding with "wait until he's a teenager."

Look long and hard at the teenagers of the parents who say that.

And when your son finishes his schooling with an M.D. and a J.D. and is happily married with a child of his own, you will have your revenge on the person(s) who said "wait until he's a teenager." You know, the one who was a grandparent at 35.

Just ride the wave, Phin, ride the wave.
