Short and sweet:
- Surprise 1.5 hr nap in the morning
- NON-CAR nap in the afternoon (though, only 40 mins… boo, hiss)
- Walked the dogs
The interesting part of the day came in the evening after he had gone to bed. He just started wailing furiously in bed. Like… scary loud and as though he had suffered his first real physical trauma.

Today I basically passed time between naps. Which, in truth, is how I tend to think of most days. Not that I don’t love hanging out with the little guy and all that, but he’s always so “on on on” (natural for his age) that I look forward to the peace of naps.

The usual crappy morning nap, coupled with some all-new variations on crying and suchlike.

Before getting to today’s adventures, let me start out by mentioning that this weekend Mama Monkey and I went on our first date since the little guy was born. I’ve been wanting to see Avatar, so we started off with the 1:20 show at Silver City’s 3D Imax. It wasn’t high art or anything, but I had a hell of a good time at that movie. One of the most entertaining films I’ve seen in a while. I’ll leave it to the critics to discuss the shortcomings (most of what they say is accurate), but it was still well worth the money. Or in this case, well worth the gift card!
After that we went to our favourite Vietnamese restaurant, New Mee Fung on Booth. Had the usual: rice paper “roll your own” platters. Yum!
Dates aren’t going to be coming fast and furious now, but we’ll get to some more soon enough.
I had a late night last night. He had an early morning (4:00am). The family crossed paths as Alex attempted to hand him over to me and I had to beg for bedtime instead. They eventually made it back to bed, but it was not a good start to the day.
