I get that the entire world can't be child-proofed, that not every person's house is set up for kids, that not every restaurant should provide crayons and a kids menu (although it's pretty nice when they do). I understand all that, but what really gets me are people's general attitude toward kids.
The egg is out the gate. M. won't let me give it a name, but if I were to name it, I would call it Slick. Why? Because it's the phoenix, rising from the ashes of our previous TTC. It's a rebirth. It's the Rebirth of Slick, which is an awesome song from one of my favorite albums ever.

As much as I hate labels, we have a very sensitive kid. He's been sensitive from pretty much the beginning.

Sometimes his sensitivity makes him a really fabulous, sweet and intuitive kid. Actually most of the time. Then sometimes M. and I feel like this kid is not the one we signed up to parent.
