Yesterday was Jason's first Father's Day. Well, actually it was his first Father's weekend--he played poker with Steve on Friday night, played in a charity poker tournament on Saturday and on Sunday he played golf with the guys. Pretty nice huh?
Niko and I hung out together on Friday night. I put him to bed early and sat next to him and read a new mystery I picked up at the library. It was very pleasant. Saturday we hung out with Auntie Fe. We headed down to Saturday market and walked around and did some shopping. We both got these really great skirts made from recycled clothes. After that we had some lunch and went back to Fe's place for a movie and some popcorn. Afterwards we came home and congratulated Daddy on his 15th place showing in the poker tournie. Way to go Dad!
Yesterday was busy, busy, busy for Niko and I. Daddy left around 10:00 for golf and Niko and I got ready for church. Auntie Fe came over and we left for the 11:00 service. It was a nice Father's Day service. Niko and I hung out for most of the service in the Mother's room since he started getting fidgety and needed to go through his "routine" in order to fall asleep. I got to hear most of the service though on the t.v. in the room. Afterwards we headed home and prepared our shopping list for the market. We needed to pick up ingredients for the veggie shishkabobs we were making for the Father's Day BBQ at Keri and Steve's after golf. It was a little hectic getting the kabobs made and also taking care of Niko. It was probably poor planning on my part to agree to make such a labor intensive item for the BBQ.
After I arrived at the BBQ with the baby and the food I made a bee line to a glass of wine--it had been a long and tiring day. Unfortunately it had been a long and tiring day for Niko as well--with not many chances to nap--he started wailing. He was both hungry and tired. We fed him and fed him some more and tried to get him to fall asleep but alas he couldn't get his little eyes to fall--he had already reached the inconsolable stage.
It took me 2 hours to get him to sleep after we arrived home. The poor little guy was so tired. His first Father's Day was just a little too much excitement and not enough sleep. All in all though I think Daddy enjoyed himself and was appreciative of what me and the little guy did for him.
Today we are taking it easy. Niko slept in til 10:15 and then we got up and played for an hour. He is now in his swing taking a nap. I'm going to make sure he gets all his naps in today! Tomorrow we are off to visit another daycare. The time of going back to work is coming upon us quickly and we need to find a place that Niko will be well cared for.
I will write again soon I hope--Mommy and Niko.
