First Come First Serve

Everett slept quite contentedly through most of the first few weeks of his life. Whether it was in his gently swaying swing, cushioned bassinette, or vibrating bouncer, he soon learned he could always anticipate a warm and soft place to snuggle down, that is unless his sister had gotten there first. Clara Grace, who was extremely fascinated by the new rituals associated with Everett’s daily care and upkeep, could often be found feeding, blanketing or changing her numerous babies. During his second week home, Everett’s mommy tiptoed into the darkened bedroom to let him nap. Only this time, poor Everett found himself nestled atop a hard, plastic doll who had beaten him to the bassinette.
