A New Record

You know those adorable Baby’s First Christmas ornaments? Those precious ornaments given to a baby for the first Christmas? The ones that are supposed to go up on the tree throughout childhood as a yearly reminder of those cherished first months? And when the child leaves home and has children, that ornament will spark a continuing tradition as the new parents give Baby’s First Ornaments to their children, and so on?

Abbie had one of those ornaments. It had Winnie the Pooh and Piglet stacking blocks that read “BABY.” Abbie broke it. Several times. On the first full day it was out.
