Maybe it’s generational, but I think I would be somewhat disappointed if HBomb became a doctor or the president or a lawyer or something. In fact, the most corporate I hope he gets would be architect, and then he better be a student of Pei or Gehry, you know the Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged breaking the rules type.
Personally I’d be happy with rock star. And based on his in-tune screaming and Jen’s background as a professional simger, I’d say he’s got a chance. Even if he followed in his dad’s footsteps and became an artist, that’d be cool.
But I want him to be a good singer. Chicks dig good singers. Next step is to teach him to scream the scale. We’re working on it.

Only 16 more years or so and he’ll be ready for American Idol.

On the colic issue…do you own a sling? Putting our son in the sling and carrying him around (more or less constantly), though it wasn’t a cure, did give us some degree of control in terms of consoling him. It was a life saver for us…
p.s. I didn’t think you’d mind a comment about colic on an unrelated post, as colic tends to occupy every aspect of our life when it’s happening.

Totally off subject, but have you tried the Dr. Brown’s bottles? I thought they were just more expensive baby crap, till I tried them. They worked wonders with my son, I actually noticed a difference after the first feeding with one.

Trust me. I speak from personal experience on this one. You do NOT want the rock star. You think colic screaming is bad? It’s nothing compared to an incoherent, alcohol induced, ego driven rampage. Give me an average architect any day of the week.
