For those of you interested, Tommy's first birthday is coming up on Tuesday and we are definitely throwing a party (even if he won't remember it!). Essentially, if Ralden and I know you, are related to you, or you've cooed at Tommy in the last year, consider yourself invited

Millie is very excited about coming, though I've had to explain to her that this is not another party for her and therefore, she doesn't get to open the presents!

[off_the_clock]

I doubt Tommy will even know the presents are supposed to be for him.

[minuet_in_c]

She will try to "help" him, I'm sure.

And she was more fascinated with the paper and the boxes than what was actually in them, if I recall. It was hilarious.

[off_the_clock]

Oh definitely.

Tell Brielle she can bring the boyfriend you've been teasing her about.

[minuet_in_c]

We'll have to keep an eye on them.

She's going to kill you for saying that, you realise, right? (In other words, YES SHE SHOULD.)

[concerto_in_d]

Ren, don't encourage her.

[minuet_in_c]

Why not?

[concerto_in_d]

You know why not.

[off_the_clock]

Why's that Brielle?

[concerto_in_d]

Because it will be ALL THAT YOU TALK ABOUT.

[off_the_clock]

I fear nothing with Tommy on my hip.

[minuet_in_c]

Excellent, using your child as a shield. Never fails to work.

[off_the_clock]

It's the best tactic I've found.

[minuet_in_c]

People usually give in when there is a cute kid involved.

[concerto_in_d]

For the last time: NOT MY BOYFRIEND.

[off_the_clock]

Friends with benefits are okay too!
