Beat that Mike Brady!

Mike Brady and his brood...
...before he introduced the "Brady boy hair perm".

Paul was musing last night as he battled a virus he contracted (not software...fever, chills, that kind of stuff) about how in the period of one month his household had grown from 2 adults and 2 cats to 3 adults, 2 cats, 1 dog, and 3 children under the age of two. Now numerically, Mike Brady from the "Brady Bunch" did more, adding 1 adult, 3 girls, and a cat to his household when he married the lovely lady...but...percentage wise, Paul has him beat. Mr Brady went from 5 (including Alice) to 9 people which is an 80% increase (if Paul's math in the midst of an intemperate fever is correct) while Paul increased the number of people from 2 to 6 making a 200% increase.

Beat that Mike Brady.

This leaves us to wonder if Paul will give all the males in his house a perm like Mike Brady did in later seasons on the show.

We have no Alice, but Michele's sister (see here for info) is a whiz when it comes to raising small children. She is an accomplished special education teacher and she's very tuned into the needs of the children. Already she's helped us dramatically such as bringing a vibrating "Oceans Wonders Aquarium Bouncer Baby" her children used which has really been a home run with our little Sammy.

Note: We did receive an "Oceans Wonders Aquarium Swing" a gift which (for which we are very grateful) we do use with Sammy as well.
