The unbearable cuteness of being

Paul has already started the trend, so I thought I may as well enter into the fray with a Christmas related post.  And it's not like I need much of an excuse to show off what I consider to be the single most adorable boy child since the Reason for the Season first came squalling into a manger a couple millennia ago.

So here's my firstborn, sporting the most appropriate of Christmas attire: a Santa cap as an unavoidable nod to the inherent commercialism of the month of December; and a birthday suit to honour the fact that we will be celebrating the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus H. Christ.

And I am also sad to say that the poor boy has just come down with a head cold for the second time in his short life.  Imagine that adorable child with a tragic pout on his face, too much colour in his cheeks, a tear forming in one eye and wearing an expression that pleas for help as he knows not why he is struggling to breathe through his congestion.  Don't it just break your heart?

You do realize that the mere existence of that photo will scar Declan's psyche for life? You now have leverage to compel him to do anything you want.

Well, it's only fitting recompense for the fact that the shoe is and will be on the other foot for the next several years...
