In a follow up post to “It has now become him” – “him” has been born. Carter is three weeks old today. Tom and Shareana decided on Carter Maximus Steele Keys for his name. As one of my former RAs said, “That’s a seriously BA name…I wouldn’t mess with a kid who had a name like that.” He’s a little guy but apparently not afraid of voicing his thoughts or opinions on any topic that strikes his fancy.
Spencer is staying with Mom and Dad while I am in Europe and Mom and Dad plan on going up to see Carter in a little over a week. I’ll be interested in Spencer’s take on the little man. It will be the first time Spencer will have to really share his Gran with anyone. I can see Gran holding Carter and Spencer deciding it is his turn and just diving up into Gran’s arms without so much as a glance at the junior human he is trampling. That’s my boy…such a gentleman. Spencer has never really been a fan of children – he’s pretty patient with Leigh (an RD friend’s daughter) but that only lasts for 10 minutes at a time. It should be interesting…
