1st attempt: he had to pee

so the kid can now undo velcro...
I’ve had to send my favorite covers (Grovia, FTW!) in to be converted to snap closures because HK has 1) discovered his junk and 2) likes to gain access to his junk. I can’t tell you how disconcerting it is to watch my infant scratch his balls.
