Meeting first is pretty essential, Miss Sage -- soon to be Mrs Ivashkov? Congratulations on the engagement too. Those are always nice things to have in your life. But yes. Meeting. I mean, you've got to feel it out you know? Nobody wants to leave their babies in the hands of the people they're not comfortable with. I know I wouldn't be anyway. Plus, what if he doesn't like me in particular you know? Sometimes babies are like that, and I wouldn't want him stuck spending time with someone that upsets him (even if I would totally do everything I could to make sure that didn't happen). The little guy doesn't need that.
Those all sound like really easy things to work with and I could totally get behind some impromtu baby drum circles with Declan. Blocks > Television anyway, and educational shows are the only thing really worth watching even if you're an adult. Seriously, I can't believe what passes for T.V these days.
And I do amazing voices, so reading is done and done. Does he have a favorite story?
