Right.

Such was the plan: C.'s on night duty this night, and that meant I had to go pick up the kid at Nanny's, and then feed, change, bathe and bed him. All on my own.

... I managed.

He's sound asleep and happy as a clam, as fed and clean as a baby is ever going to get.

I feel a little less male now, but a lot more relieved.

Congrats and welcome into the world of the happy dads :-)

Well, I remained happy till halfway through the night or so anyway. No so bad, all in all. x_x

Less male? I tell ya, bud, there's many men ain't man enough to face that there challenge that you just stood through. Stand tall, crack a beer, and don't forget to moisturise your pecs.

Seeing as, ironically, although not quite unpredictably, things went somewhat downhill after I'd posted that, as kiddo realized midway through the night that, no, mommy was indeed not coming home, and started expressing intense enduring sadness over the fact, a beer is definitely in order. x_x

As for the rest, I don't know. Dragonly whining aside, isn't this something all dads get to do?

That's my dragon, that is =) You did very well *proud*

I tried.

... There was a type 2 diaper this morning. ;_; It was hard.

Type II! Emergency decontamination teams report immediately to the Crack of Doom!

Seconding Footpad there ;)

Just don't mix up the beer and the baby bottle — well, then again, if you do want a quiet night...

Yeah, yeah, I know where the exit is!

Can't say I haven't considered the option in the weest hours of the morning. ;_;

But, uh, yah. Beer. :} I just plain don't drink as much beer when you're not around, but tonight, by hell, I deserve one.

True, true, and let's have a thought for all the other young parents (or worse, young single parents) who deserve a beer tonight :)

(And it looks like lots of people don't drink or smoke as much when I'm not around... Maybe I should wear a warning label or something...)

[balinares.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but, look: I never said I minded your Aura of Debauchery. :)

[kefen.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, we'll see about that when that Aura of Debauchery starts affecting your son :P

(Whaaaat? I am looking forward to very competitive afternoons playing Mario Kart Whatever against you two, and we both know this'll require beer... right?)

Men can be such babies!

Yah... A little less poopy, though, I believe. c_c
