The Illusion of a Routine

Hello. Today Grandma Charlotte left, making tomorrow the second day since Holden's birth where it will be the just the three of us. We are lucky to have such a caring and flexible family [I am now doing the Jim Halpert look towards an imaginary camera, think The Office].

Grandma saying goodbye
Holden still resists Daddy's best efforts at a routine in the evenings. Despite the perfect bath water temperature, playing with rubber ducky, a fresh diaper and clothes Holden blows up as the last snap is fastened. So in a way his lamentations are part of the routine, fusing and fighting until he gets mothers milk then a walk with Daddy and he is out. Holden continues to sleep through most of the night, may the gods of Babydom be praised.

Hands crossed like a gentleman
Mommy has started running again and will hopefully compete in another marathon, unless Daddy knocks her up again. Holden's first trip is coming up in May, to a wedding in Connecticut. I dread this operation more than any other in my career. Have a good one.

  1. Dread?!
    This will be your son's first cocktail hour, first visit to a winery, first champagne-dinner-dancing under the stars...that is, unless you've been holding out on us, in your blog! xoAunt M.
