All Pooped Out

I was feeling a little blue on my birthday because this the first birthday without my Dad in 37 years. So, to cheer me up, my wife decided on a mini family outing - with our little boy. This is the first time he was actually going out with us and not headed to the doctor's for his monthly medical evaluation and vaccinations. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea, with the baby and all, but I thought a change to our weekend routine might help.

Although we only stayed out for about two hours or so and aside from the fact that both our arms were aching from carrying Junior (we were 'clever' enough not to buy a baby harness or bring his stroller), we actually had a good time. And he was totally well-behaved too! No fussiness or being Mr Cranky Pants. He calmly watched people walking by and enjoyed the colourful things he saw. Our biggest fear was if he needed his diapers changed while we were out. My wife told him "Please don't poo while you're out, ok?" And he obeyed! He didn't till the end of the day!

That's my boy!!
