Kinda hahaha Alex is named after Lex Luthor from Superman (David is lucky I happed to LOVE the name Alexander!) No one calls him Lex though. They try to but they seriously dont really.
Kai was for baby Kai the little boy my family raised from around 2 months until he was 3. We loved that little boy so much, and he was the first actual little baby that David did stuff for. Before he met Kai he told me he never wanted to have children! You'd never know that by watching him interact with Alex or his niece and nephews!

Depends who he is with. We are both pretty fair with punishments and discipline him equally. So we are both the "Bad Guy"

Again it depends on who he got caught doing something wrong by lol

A few hours. I'm a HUGE wimp when it comes to leaving him more than a work day! I seriously wake up stressing out thinking about leaving Alex when I'm in the hospital with Gabriel!

Jenniffer says that Alex is my "Mini Shadow" since I take him everywhere I can!
