Here is Darcy. These pictures were taken in March of this year and were sent to us as part of Darcy's file we received in June. Even objectively speaking -- and not boasting as a proud mama -- isn't he adorable? You just don't get much cuter. And, note the split pants -- much to Better Half Dave's horror! Alas, that is the way most of the world works, sans Dora the Explorer Pampers Pull-ups! Although, I'm a bit befuddled as to how one deals with the transition from split-pants to diapers, western toilets, and underoos. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

And, thanks to Doug Miller for the informative (and humorous) links to stories on split pants:

Hi Laurelle: Coming over from RQ's site. Darcy is SO precious! Got an interesting 'heads up' from another RQer that sometimes what can be one family's diagnosis of constipation is actually a baby's refusal to do #2 in a diaper because they are already potty trained for that. Just a possibility that I wanted to bring up. Congratulations and good luck! Judi
