Dog person
Can you all of a sudden not be a dog person? I think that might be happening to me. I've always considered myself a dog person, we had at least one dog at all times growing up. But now that this little guy is in my life,
it seems I no longer have room (or the desire for room) for this:
Or maybe a kid plus a dog seems like too much chaos. Come to think of it, a kid plus another kid seems like chaos. Not that I want Beck to be an only child, but, how do people ever have more than one small, dependent (though utterly and indescribably wonderful) living thing in their house at once?

I just wanted to say that I totally know how you feel about the dog thing! I am a full-time nanny of now-22-month-old twins, and after taking care of kids all day, cleaning up after/dealing with a pet can feel like more of an irritation than anything. I LOVE dogs, and miss having one (we live in a small apt. and discovered even a kitty was too much), but raising children is enough without an "animal child" thrown into the mix. My husband and I hope to have a dog when our kids are more above the 2yr.+ mark. :)
Your son is adorable btw, and I love the name you chose for him!
Blessings,
