I think it is very interesting how my wife and I, not being baby-people or people who have a natural affinity towards kids, give a pretty honest evaluation of other's people's babies when we see them. Privately and to ourselves of course, but sometimes it's like, that sure was some ugly baby, I mean, ughh!
But then with our own son, who we realize we are crazy about and completely biased toward--well, he's the cutest baby in the world! Not that there aren't other cute babies, there are, but I'm sure every parent thinks their baby is cute. Even the parent's of particularly ugly babies.
So how do we know? Is our baby cute or are we just crazy like everyone else who has kids? I feel like we are still somewhat objective because looking back at Jackson's old pictures, some of the ones we thought were cute now seem ugly, especially compared to the latest cute pics. Or maybe that's where we've lost it, our parent's perception is so totally out of control that we will never be able to understand when his principal calls and says, We had a problem at school today. Not my baby..
How is this going to affect him? How do we keep from being the nut-job parents you see on talk shows?
