Boys Night Out

Day 253:

Well well well Boy'O, tonight was a fun day for the Lion Heart and me!  I got you out the door for daycare this morning and that was fun! A nice clear morning, driving down the road with the windows rolled down feeling the cool air on our faces listening to a bluesy tune.  Then I picked you up after school and did much of the same only this time it was off to Costco for some Friday night supplies.  When we came home we played and laughed then enjoyed some rice cereal and squash followed by a bit of apple sauce and after dinner it was some fun times in the bath!

By the time I'd gotten you ready for bed, you were as content as I'd ever seen.  In fact, the picture above was taken with you curled up in your bed, ready for me to read you a bed time story and then see you off to sleep... And sleep you have, Boy'O.

You see, Mommy's been neck deep in a proposal for several weeks and so she found some reprieve out  to dinner with an old friend tonight.  It's been a nice night for the boys while Mommy gets a bit of down time.  Unfortunately however, I'm wiped out having gotten another blasted headache that kept me up all night, and so immediately following this entry, I'm in the rack, Son.

Still, I very much enjoyed the change of pace, Conor.  I rather enjoy the empowerment of being the go-to for you while Mommy's not around.  At one time it was a challenge, though now it's just a rhythm.  And if I've got anything going for me, Boy'O, it's rhythm!

In other news, I saw your girl Charlie Jane today!  She's so pretty Conor, and I'm so happy you're going to grow up together.  No doubt there will be many, many good times ahead.  Aunt Marti is doing great, and Uncle Justin is on Cloud 9.  A very good day indeed.

I'm off to bed, Son.  Hopefully to sleep through the night!

I love you,
-Dad
