Fatherhood

Kia’s actually gotten pretty good at keeping herself entertained, at least for short periods… when she’s not tired.  ;P  It’s nice because, if I time it all right, I can make myself dinner and even eat it (*gasp!*) before she starts demanding my full attention again.  Eating with a baby in your lap is no easy task, believe me.

Of course, every time I run off to take care of something, be it dinner, getting ready for work, or whatever, I’ll say “I’ll be right back” or something similar.  Why?  Why not?  It’s just polite, after all, and she likes being talked to, so I hold mostly one-sided conversations with her all the time.  Sooner or later, she’ll be able to answer back.  🙂

I’m wearing my Nature Force, wolfy sweatshirt ( http://www.natureforce.ca/ ) which says “Extinction is Forever”… which I’m actually wearing as I type this, as it happens.  Kia’s wearing some striped, fleece pajamas.  I generally don’t get her dressed until after her mid-day nap.
