father-son time is terrifying - and incredible


Eleanor recently needed to go run some errands and thought it would be a good opportunity for me to spend some quality time with Clay. I played it cool, but internally I was freaking out as she pulled out of the driveway. What if he starts throwing up? What if he hates the book I read him? What if, most scary of all, he refuses to go in the swing? 
The hype was insurmountable to the reality of the situation. Mostly my evening consisted of watching my son sleep, wake up, and fall back asleep. I caught up on my fantasy football stats and movie trailers as he snored in my arms.
But while it wasn't anything chaotic or exciting even, after a week's worth of moving and busy days at work, that quiet time with Clay was epic.

Note From Eleanor: Bed Bath & Beyond sans husband, kid, and dog - best date night of my life.
