A letter to a Godmother

Dear Godmother Lindsay Laurel,
          I know we met when I was in utero but since that was so long ago, I thought I would send you a note and win over your God-motherly heart. First off, Mommy says that when making friends, it is best to build on common ground.  That being said, here is a picture that you might relate to:
Trust me- I wanted to use less bubbles but my mom can be a real fuddy-duddy
Not too shabby, eh? Looks like you aren't the only one who knows how to bathe in style. :) Anyway, now that you know that we are just like each other, here is a little bit more about me. Let's see....
      I was born in December so that makes me a Sagittarius (whatever the heck that means?...does that make me some sort of dinosaur? I guess I am pretty strong-as you can see in the picture above- but a dinosaur....hmm...maybe). Also, I recently went to the ocean and realized that although I do like long walks on the beach, I prefer snuggle-buggling with my grandma in the shade even more. Now, before you go judging me to be some sort of bore, let me just say that she is really good at snuggling. Furthermore, I have baby soft skin and a beautifully round head and a smattering of feather hair that I have to take good care of. See? So I'm not a prude, I'm just responsible. So sue me!!! Actually, please don't. Who would be my godmother then? 
       Anyway, speaking of hair, according to family lore my biggest brother, Mason, came out with a full head of hair. I'm not sure I believe it though since I have never actually seen any pictures as evidence. In fact, for as long as I have lived, I have never seen a single picture on our walls. Can you believe that? Mommy says that is because my pregnancy was hard and that now we are moving. Right. Is that also the excuse for why she hasn't finished getting dressed today? Man, that woman makes me laugh. Honestly, she does. One look at her and I can't help but giggle! You should see her faces! On top of that, she plays a mean game of peak-a-boo. Now THAT is comedy!
     As for other things, my favorite food is milk. Milk is also my favorite beverage. Actually, milk is the only food or drink I like. When I get bored I like to suck on a binky. Also, I spend most of my time snoozing. Again, it's not that I'm boring. It's just that all of that drinking and binky-sucking is rather tiring. Last but not least, my mommy says that I am her easiest baby yet. I guess that makes me practically perfect in every way...which I guess also makes me as tall as Mary Poppins. (A manly version of Mary Poppins though).
     Speaking of manly, does Ginger like manly men? Even though you are my godmother, my mommy said that I can still someday marry one of your daughters. I know that I have some pretty steep competition with Jesse living so close over there, but truth be told, I'm a high-quality chap. I suppose if Ginger isn't into bald or younger men, my older brother Char is pretty hirsute and loads of fun. I love him so much, I wouldn't even get all jealous and Legends of the Fall-ish about it if she chooses him. But if I were to, know that I would be Brad Pitt. Especially since he has a neighboring birthday to mine....which means that makes him also a dinosaur....
    I guess I have gone on for long enough. I just wanted to let you know that even though you are far away, I love you and I am pleased as punch to be your godson.
                                Love,
                                    McCabe
P.s- Did you know that Soilent Green is still made out of people?

Dear Godson,

The first thing I thought when I saw your photo was, "How did anyone find that picture of me???" Don't worry, I quickly realized that it was in fact not me, but adorable little you!

Wow, we ARE just alike! First of all, I was also born nearly bald, (though I continued in such state for the first 3 years of my life - something I don't recommend). Secondly, I too think your grandma is snuggly and imagine that you are likely her most favorite little buggle to snuggle, given your unique combination of dinosaur-like strength and long-walks-on-the-beach level of sensitivity. And finally, I find your mom's peek-a-boo game wildly entertaining and can think of almost nothing else I'd rather be doing at this very moment than that. The one area we differ: taste in food. I'm not much of a milk drinker, although there is little else I don't like, so once you move on to solids I'm confident we'll find even more common ground.

Now I'm gonna be honest, little man. Just today I caught Jesse kissing Ginger on the lips! This means you might have to play a little catch-up to win over her heart. But don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you. Your bathtub photo can't hurt either...I'll make sure to put it within her view. Then there's the pure manliness you exude. Really, if you were to ask her out on a play date I don't know how she could resist!

I love you too, mon petit poi & I am just tickled to be your godmother!

Love,
Lindsay Laurel

PS-You mean to tell me they didn't change the recipe??!!! They're STILL people???!!!
