The Joy of Parenting!

Yesterday was one of those days (many more to come) that reminded Tricia and I of the joy of parenting. For real and sarcastically....

For Real: Yesterday evening, we hurried up and ate dinner so we could take Davis to the Park to swing on the baby swing and play on the equipment. We were so excited to do this, because we have recently learned that he really loves the swing. (see picture from yesterday evening) It was a blast. This boy is super fun!

Sarcastically: I guess Davis loves being with us as much as we love being with him, because when Tricia and I snuck into his room to peek on him and cover him with his blanket that he has thrown off (which is our nightly routine where we ooh and ah and whisper, "can you believe he is our child"), he woke up. All the way. Sat up. Started talking (noises of course). Tricia immediately dropped to the floor in front of his crib hoping he did not see her. When neither of us could control our laughter anymore, we busted out loud and were caught...red handed...in his room. He had already been asleep for almost 4 hours, so it was game time!

I will not bore you with the rest of the details, but after trying all we knew to try, we were watching Barney at 1:00am. Of course, today would be a day that I had a 7am meeting!

Ah...the joy of parenting!
