you know you are a dad when you wake up at 5:30am and within an hour you are dry heaving while cleaning up your son's poop from his baby einstein saucer. it had the consistency of lukewarm hot fudge, thick enough to ooze, but thin enough to run...right out the sides of his diaper. this is the second time in three days this has happened, and i am purchasing stock in diaper wipes this afternoon.
as an added bonus, a viral infection of unknown type and origin has assaulted him, bringing the twin blessings of a medium grade fever and overall discomfort. he tries really hard to be happy, but sometimes mid smile he breaks into this truly pathetic high pitched squealy whine as if to say, "i am sorry guys, i am just not making it." infant motrin helps keep the fever down, and running random errands keeps everyone a little more sane. yesterday we strolled around vons for a good 20 minutes while isaac explored the wonders of the frozen food section, loudly voicing his opinion and approval at random intervals.
he is learning to wave and to clap, and we are trying to capture video of both to post soon. in the mean time, i am going to try to scrub this smell off my hand.
