Dear Benjamin,
Happy 5th! It's time we tell you the truth. We called you Baby Butthead for the first five months of your life. It wasn't arbitrary--you were, well, a butthead a good deal of the time. You were born screaming and arching your back, and you never let up. But today, in honor of your birthday, I propose we retire the term Baby Butthead, even when you are living up to the name. You smile now, and you laugh occasionally, and you are easier in general to entertain. I think you are now well on the road to becoming a full-time Baby Genius. We love you so much, little man, and we are so glad that you are in our lives. You've made us wonder what we did with ourselves before you were here. You've made us better, more compassionate people. When you are sleeping, we miss you so much, we sneak into your room and stare at you and smile. Thank you for being such a beautiful boy.
Love,
Mom and Dad
