As you can see, I’ve been putting Josiah to work! When he’s not writing up legal opinions, he’s spending most of his time smiling and flashing his baby blues at all the ladies in both of my offices – the Airport and the Law Department. I think they’re going to start keeping a tally to make sure he visits them equally!

When I was a City Hall visiting my fellow city attorneys, I stopped in at the Public Works department where a couple of particularly baby-crazy attorneys were finishing up a meeting. I knew they would never forgive me if they didn’t get to see Josiah, so I wanted to see if I could catch them at the end of their meeting before I went home. (It was my day off.) The receptionist went in to tell them I was there (apparently not recognizing me in my casual day-off clothes, ponytail, and no make-up) and announced to the room (of mostly men) that “a lady with a new baby is here.” Both of the attorneys knew I was going to be there so they immediately knew it was me, but before they could say anything, one of the guys blurted out: “I hope she’s not here to see me!”

Umm… yeah. I got a pretty good laugh out of that. I mean, if you think random women might be showing up at your office with a baby in tow (presumably to inform you it’s yours), then I think you might want to re-evaluate some things in your life!
