12 December 2007 End of an Era
This picture is of Zoe chewing on my nose. I don’t know about other parents, but when you have a big Jewish nose the tip of the proboscis in question is just irresistible to young babies, who love to latch onto it with their gums and suck.
OK, I admit it sounds gross when put into writing, but it’s actually incredibly tender and sweet to be on the receiving end, and has been one of my most unexpected joys of being a dad.
However, as the end came with Genbo so it comes with Zoe. The end, you see, is teeth. Zoe still wants to play our little game, but those are strong jaws she’s got, and with her teeth coming in now I have to gently prevent her from locking on or risk serious bodily injury.
When I look at this picture I feel a little pang of loss.
