The Eagle Has Landed!

Below is the email we circulated to announce Casimir's birth back in December. Since then we've been updating the blog to make sure all of his fans can keep tabs on him. He doesn't twitter yet - but that's probably just around the corner. 

We included Casimir's email address so that you could write to him directly. A number of people decided to email casimir directly and we have reprinted a few of those letters on the blog. Please send him an email if you are so inspired, we'll make sure he gets it.


Dear Friends,
Please join us in welcoming Casimir (“Caz”) Charles Kosinski.

He was born on Wednesday, December 17th at 12:57am.

The little tyke came in at a husky 9 lbs, and was over 21 inches long.

It was a long journey and an exciting adventure. Mom was strong and courageous throughout. Everyone is healthy, happy and content.

Mom, Dad and Baby Caz are resting and will not be taking phone calls for a little while as we all settle in. Pictures soon.

Thank you to everyone for the well wishes and support over the past weeks and months.

If you would like to email wishes of good cheer to Baby Caz, you can reach him at casimir.kosinski@gmail.com.

Love, Sarah Singer and John Kosinski

Some of your emails reminded us about the benefits of having so many friends who are professional writers...

Dear Cas,
Welcome to the world!

First, so proud you made it out all right. But the worst part of your journey is not over. Sadly, it is a child's duty during at least the first seventeen years of life to carefully raise its parents. This will take endless amounts of time, as they have no idea how to properly communicate with you, endless patience, since they learn very slowly, and endless amounts of unconditional love, as they will make several unreasonable demands on you as grow older.

I know John and Sarah, though, and I can state categorically that your parents are adorable and though they will awaken you at all hours (indeed, for all practical purposes, control your bedtime for years to come) it will all be worth it in the end. By the time you leave the nest, they will be fantastic parents, and you will be very happy that you invested good time in them.

One word of advice. Don't put to many expectations on your mom and dad during the first few weeks. They will make all kinds of weird noises, laugh and cry for no reason, and generally behave like a couple of wild-eyed, overwhelmed teenagers. Just nap a lot and, when possible, suddenly lift your hand and point to reassure them.

I can't wait to meet you! Let me know when you're receiving!

xoxo,
James
P.S. Phillip sends you all his love as well!
