For those of you who are unaware, we have made the decision to avoid learning the gender of the baby. I felt this to be one of life's greatest gifts and I wanted to approach it in the traditional manner (pre- ultrasound). Lindsay supports this decision (well now anyway) and initially it was a bit of a debate topic.
Lucky for us Winnie the Pooh is a neutral colored and themed character. It has been quite the nostalgic experience viewing all the characters that now adorn our baby's soon-to-be room. I even went so far as to learn to play and sing the "Pooh corner" song by Kenny (you make the movie, I write the soundtrack) Loggins. I'm not sure exactly when my back yard ceased to be the 1000 acre woods and became something of a chore to maintain, but I feel that in some small way I am beginning to recall. Anytime there are woods thick enough to block direct view of the opposing side, their is room for imagination. I have already begun empathizing the perspective of my child with the conception of an untamed imagination. Now when I see the woods in my back lawn I can't help but wonder if Eeyore and Pooh are just beyond my view and that if I hurry I may catch a glimpse of them on their way to Rabbit's for Tea and Honey.
