Annie barely fit into her Christmas dress and sleeper. Her pudgy baby fat rolls were pudgier than ever. At least the fat is symmetrical, which rules out possible obesity.

Anyway. Patrick, you are the father.

When you go to heaven, God will ask you about your responsibility to your children and he will ask, “What you did to prepare them for the kingdom of heaven?” (You can start by telling them you picked excellent godparents .)

Then he will ask you “What did you teach them?”

Don’t you want to be able to look the Big Guy in the eye & tell him you taught them to love the ‘skins?

Put him in the Redskins outfit; they are his GRANDPARENTS… you are his FATHER. Saying you are “bringing” the Giants outfit doesn’t mean Simon has to “wear” it

Speaking of ‘Hail to the Redskins,’ I wonder if the Giants have a catchy fight song that is racially offensive? Their name is offensive to people who are sensitive about their height.

You are given your team at birth and there is no switching. Ever (unless, in the rare occurence that a new baseball team moves to the city in which you live, then you can root for them for at least two seasons before MLB moves that team to a more profitable city, but you still should not abandon the AL team you have known and loved since birth, no matter how hard they make it to root for them). These are important days for you and Simon, Pat. It is an important issue. But, I am a conflict avoider, so I would go with the Christmas outfit. Just remember that you see Simon everyday and change way more of his diapers than your father-in-law. There will be plenty of opportunities to make sure he is not a Giants fan. For example, if he were to learn Hail to the Redskins at a young age (dare I say, prodigy?), I bet there would be no turning back. In conclusion… Go Skins!

Um, HELLO. Your wife is a quilter. This means she can sew. Clearly, she should cut the Redskins and Giants outfits in half and sew them together. Problem solved. It’s like raising your child half Catholic an half Jewish… which some would say doesn’t really work, either. Hmmm.

And I guess if this is not possible, I vote hokie with Carrie.

I think you should put him in a Hokie outfit. Everyone loves the Hokies (not to mention the maroon can be a slight push towards……)

Serves you right if he ends up hating sports in general.

I tried on his Christmas outfits today and they fit OK. No worries.
