Just me and my boy ...


Today started and ended essentially the same way ... Henry was in my arms asleep and we got some good cuddle time. I don't get to have as many cuddly moments with Henry as I had with Liana - schedules just don't allow for it. I am usually occupying Liana in the morning and responding to "DADDY!" when I walk through the door a night- a greeting that makes me feel like the most important person in the world. Then, after dinner and a little playtime with each of them I am giving the Nugget a tub while mama is feeding Henry and putting him to bed.

As a result, I don't get to put him to bed very often whereas I used to put Liana to bed almost every night when she was a baby. Well this morning Henry woke up REAL early and he thought he was ready to party ... I brought him downstairs so mama could sleep and he was a bit animated for about 10 or 15 minutes or so. I decided to wrap him in his blanket and lie down with him on the couch. After a little bit of coaxing he fell fast asleep - and so did I. We slept for almost 1 hour before mama and the Nugget came downstairs. When I got home from work, mama had an appointment to go to so I was full on daddy duty. While Liana watched Strawberry Shortcake on the DVD I changed Henry Boy into his PJ's, gave him a bottle, and he fell asleep in my arms. He let me put him peacefully in his crib. What a great day.
