Conquest it sounds like you are doing a great job adjusting to your new role. Jr is a lucky kid to have you around, and I'm sure you guys will figure out how to navigate the conflicts that will inevitably arise as they do in all families.
No parties for us tonight. We went out for sushi, our NYE tradition, and I'm doing a late walk with my buddy in a few. My daughter and husband are watching the polar express. It's all good in the hood. We will watch the ball drop at 9 so she can see what that's all about, then we will go to bed. We usually wake up briefly at midnight when people nearby holler and fire off a few big illegal fireworks. We have a new year kiss and go back to sleep. We are definitely tired parents these days!
Looking forward to waking up fresh and sprightly on national hangover day!
Happy new year to you guys!
