Quick story. I had to use a babysitter (Mimi,) to finally enjoy a cup of coffee this weekend. Babies aren't always coffee friendly. Don't worry, you'll learn.
This past Sunday, was Alaina's Baptism. It was great. Fantastic job by Pastor Brian. She didn't even cry.
On Monday, I made a trip to the bank to deposit Alaina's gift moneys. I had made the comment to my mom, "Boy, Alaina has more money than me, and she's only four and a half months old!" to which she responded, "Get used to it. She probably will, from here on in."
She's right. But I guess that's the whole point. Right? After all, we are here for the betterment of our children, and our family. So, why shouldn't she have more than me? I just thought it would take a little while longer!
At 3AM, when the baby starts to stir, and you know she's about to go into full-cry mode, there are some choices that come to mind. These are very important choices. Allow me to present a few, that you won't want to pick.
Learn from others' misteps. Trust me.
1. "Maybe if I pretend to be asleep, my wife will take care of it." This one can be pulled off... But its dangerous. You must be a good actor, and know when to time the "Oh, you got it? I was going to take care of her."
2. "I'm going to shake my wife to wake her up. I woke up, and woke up my wife to tell her the baby was crying. That means I helped out and took care of it... right?" No. Don't.
3. Neither before, nor after addressing the crying baby, is the following appropriate... "Well, I'm up... You're up... Wanna have sex?"
