22 years ago, of course. I won’t go into the gory details, let’s just say that the little mousey had decided she’d had just about enough and decided to emerge into the sunlight a few weeks early. And there she is, big as life, all six pounds two-and-half ounces of her. She’s not more than one or two days old in this photo, you can see a little tinge of benign newborn jaundice. I remember having to spend quite some time deprogramming the two-year-old. We had been over and over the fact that while *her* birthday was in October, the new baby’s birthday would be in May. The new baby obviously had other ideas but the two-year-old remained fixated on May.

Happy Birthday, my little Mouse child!
