Old hand

Had MGF S&A over today. First time since they had their little baby boy. It's been a month since the little one was born, but the first time they felt like socialising. From my own experience it feels just right. You see, when a baby is born our animal instincts kick in. Like most other mammals, women usually give birth at night. If they can help it they will stay in the cave with the newborn for a while. The father will go out and bring in the food. The mother will feed. Being human it takes us longer to get into our stride, so it takes about a month.

So, having three little ones of my own, I felt like an old hand. Confident. "Let the young couple enjoy themselves and I'll hold the little one for a while" I thought. It went extremely well - I gave the little one the famous JT one-hand-tummy-hold - for 2 seconds. The lungs on him! How embarrassing.

PS 460km down. 540km to go.
