Goodness Knows

In the last few weeks I've had several people ask if Topher is a good baby. I understand what they mean: is he sleeping well, is he a good eater, what's his temperament like, that sort of thing. But I always want to answer, "Of course he's good, he's a baby. All babies are good. They can't talk back, they can't run off, they can't throw anything at you. Yeah, he's good."

Usually I just smile and say, "He's the easiest child in my house."

And that's true.
