Eden smiles with his whole mouth and face. I have never been a morning person but this kid makes me want to get up just to see that smile in the morning. Believe me he still has to rap on my head a few times, but as soon as my eyes open I am in pure heaven.
I hate to think that someday he may take after his mommy and start being a grump in the morning, but for now it is his favorite time of day!

Perfect and Eden's mommie may not be the perfect parents...together
I know that there are not many people who can automatically know that they will parent well together, but Perfect and I have had glimpses of the future and I am worried.
He is very strict. His 14 year old daughter was grounded for a month for a hickey. The hickey did not happen as a result of a hot and heavy make out session. There was another adult in the room that did not notice anything. So when his daughter told us that it was the result of a joking around and the fact that this thing was the size of a pea I tend to believe her. Her father and mother however thought that grounding her for a month was reasonable.
I was never grounded for that long as a child and I never grounded the boys that long. Perfect even threatened to have an injunction put on the boy.
I think this was a super overreaction on the part of the parents and I am afraid that he and I will not be able to talk these things out before he flies off the handle and goes overboard punishing Eden. I believe that once a punishment is given you should stick to it and I do not want to stick to super crazy punishments that do not fit the crime.
Maybe I am just a Hippie.
