Fun day today, Conor! You and I spent the better part of this 24 hour day entirely together. Beginning at 12:30am this morning you were wide awake, Boy'O. I fed you, read you a book, burped you, changed you, read you another book, fed you again, changed you again, set you down in the crib in your nursery to let you 'fuss it out' while playing "Angry Birds" on my iPhone for sanity's sake, and suddenly it was 6:30am and you were FINALLY asleep. Now, admittedly I've had a few nights in my life where I've seen the sun come up, Conor... But none like this. As much fun as I've had staying up all night and partying with friends, I've never been as exhausted as I was when you finally fell asleep... I dragged my weary body to the bedroom with you in my rams, laid you down in the cradle with not much fuss, laid down in bed and crashed. When I woke up it was 11:00am and you were lying in the crook of my arm. I had no idea what was going on! Of course, Mommy had been awake since 7:30am, fed you again, changed you again, and then went downstairs to have coffee, make a phone call, and whatever else... And when I work up, there you were!
After getting my bearings and figuring out it was late in the morning and that Mommy had clearly laid you in my arm, I got it all figured out and got moving. Then, Mommy was out with a client for the better part of the day so I worked from home and hung out with you... All in all, a great day!
And then came the South Carolina GOP debates. I took one look at you and your body language said it all... It was EXACTLY how I was feeling! I'll support you through anything, Conor. but a politician? Please no! The Lion Heart is already far more talented than anything I see in that arena...
G'night Son. I love you.
-Dad
