Adam
My world has changed! Your world has, too. It’s been added to!
(personal post) I got the news when I was approaching the baggage check-in in Portland, Maine. I’m standing there, with my oldest son, who is going to Gen Con Indianapolis where he will help premiere some newly published role playing games (that he wrote game design chapters for), on his way to heading back to college for his senior year. My cell phone rings. It’s a call from Nick, in Edinburgh, Scotland, who tells me that he has a newborn son! My daughter and he have changed our reality–and therefore everyone’s reality–by having little Adam.
I have become a grand-mom (I will let daughter Cam decide on whichever diminutive form of grandmother she wants to use for me). My husband has become a grand-father. My sons are now uncles. Our world is fuller.
What a good, positive, hopeful, brave thing that Cam and Nick have done. As soon as I get pics, I’m sure I’ll post here.
(For anyone wondering why I have a personal post on a blog I’m trying to use for my reflections on teaching, I am sure that Adam will be a very important motivator for me as I reflect on the state of little Adam’s educational world, among other things!)
(Anyone with good ideas for some wonderful baby gifts, please suggest them to me. It is hard to be so far away–we’ve identified some books we can send via Amazon.uk from this side of the puddle (”Where’s my cow?” is a must) but would love to know other good web sites we can access!)
