Getting the Hang of This (Solo Dad-O: Part Two)

This was the first full day that we've been without Mom-O and I'm going to push my luck and say that Babe-O and I are getting the hang of this. We played, went for a walk, went to the store, played some more.

So far bedtime has been the tricky part, but even that went like clockwork tonight...in fact better than it has gone in recent memory. At Mom-O's suggestion, I steered clear of the glider altogether (traditinoal mommy/baby nursing spot) and went to my big recliner instead. Babe-O drank her rice milk and the snuggled up on my shoulder.

She didn't zonk right out this time, but instead started to fidget, so I just took her upstairs and

plopped her in her crib. She was wide awake, looked me in the eye when I gave her a kiss goodnight, and didn't make a peep when I left. Five minutes later I checked back and she was sound asleep.

I did some interviews for a magazine article I'm working on and am currently waiting on my pizza to be ready. It's been a pretty good night.

Oh...I also did a guest post for Mom-O's site. Feel free to check it out over at www.makesmomhappy.com.

Two days down, two to go. At least it's the weekend.
