Mommy did a couple of short test runs of going to the hospital on Thursday and Friday. Thursday Elliot went to daddy’s office, where he tried to keep Logan from getting his work done. Friday he stayed home with daddy. Both days he took a bottle without significant issue.
We went out to El Paso last night for dinner with Gam Gam and Slappy. Elliot was awake and well behaved, which always seems to surprise me. Slappy commented that he was looking forward to taking Elliot out when babysitting him so he could say, “Well, his mom is at the hospital and his dad is in jail!” Gam Gam and I talked about how empty life would feel without children. Things are hard now but in 20 years I could not picture myself having not had kids.
We read Elliot “Anything for You” last night, which his sweet cousin Kyra gave to him.
Logan and I are avid gamers and often view the world from that perspective. For example, Elliot’s last save point was in his bassinet. He falls asleep and ends up back there, from which he has to once again figure out how to tell us what he wants with limited communication skills. “A” is kick and squirm and “B” is grunt and, eventually, cry. He’ll learn more skills as he levels up.
“Oh man, I’m here again!”
