Max, upon successful putting to bed on the part of the babysitter and wearing all kinds of clothes that are too big for him. For a Grandma who said he wasn't going to be one of those boys who wears saggy pants, she sure dressed him in the wrong shorts today.
Today Baby Giant Max (11 lbs!!) and I got to spend some quality time together. We were supposed to spend some quality time together alone at my house, but my house is lacking several things such as a place for the Baby Giant to sleep, so we had to spend quality time together alone at my mom's. (First thing on my plans tomorrow are to go and get a suitable place for the baby to sleep so that Max and I can spend quality time together more often.) Before I was approved to spend quality alone time I had to have mini-baby boot camp with enough instructions to write a baby instruction book. Then my mom left and Max passed out. He stayed passed out until a half hour later when my dad got home and I said, "He's sleeping." And my dad said, "Huh, sounds like he's screaming." At which the Baby Giant made me a freaking liar. (Probably he was just excited that my dad was home.)
I would say that Max and I had a great time. He was fussy and I held him. For three hours. It was great! Sure this might make it harder for him to sleep without someone holding him, but you know what, I've been reading What to Expect in the First Year and it said that babies that are held are less fussy than other babies. I put him in the swing and we talked again, about going to Disneyland.
In other important news, this morning I broke my walking record by .3 mph!!! I walked 1.8 miles at 2.2 mph. And I'm going back to work August 24 because the principal suggested maybe I might want to start on a minimum day and only work a half a week, given the ass-whooping I got from Stater Bros last week. Since the principal's such a reasonable guy I thought that sounded reasonable.
It gives me one more week to be the daytime babysitter.
