Every morning David takes a few minutes out of his busy schedule to sit down and help me at the computer.

Busy Saturday
Today turned out to be a pretty busy day. I made a quick trip to Lowes to get a pair of 12′ pieces of crown molding to finally finish off David’s room. It has taken entirely too long to get it completed, but I can’t exactly be in there with a nailgun while he’s sleeping.
I only had one 10′ section of wall left, but decided to buy two pieces of ample size so that when I inevitably screwed up the first piece I could just laugh, set it aside, and try again without having a trip in the car piss me off. The most amazing thing happened, though – I didn’t need the second piece because I didn’t screw it up. Wooo!
After getting that piece in place I had to putty, sand, touchup paint, and caulk around the room which took a lot longer than I expected. But, it’s finally done and looks really good to my untrained eye. To top it off, we also finally got the pictures up in the room.
Sometime in there I also cleaned my desk(!) and mowed the lawn. Busy day. I’m tired.

And some more photos from this evening are available in gallery.
Just a general update on him, he’s doing great – close to crawling, enjoys grabbing everything around him, and laughs LOTS.

Respect for Single Moms
This is to all those single mom’s out there. How in the world do you do it? Completely and utterly amazed by you all – total respect for being able to do it yourself. Besides getting 3 hours of sleep last night between various wake ups of our little David, I then had to deal with a 30 minutes screaming session while I was getting dressed and ready for work. That followed by him smiling at himself in the mirror while still sniffling from all the crying was enough to make me just want to go back to bed. We managed to eat breakfast, pack the car, feed the cats and water the garden without incident. But wow, what a morning. FYI, I had to do this all myself this morning because Eric is in Chicago for work. Usually he entertains David while I’m getting ready, as well as feeds the cats. I feed David and pack the car (garden is usually done at night). PLUS we split the who gets up to put him back to sleep duties. Eric won’t be back until Sunday (basically), so I’ll be doing the same battle tomorrow. Maybe David will relax a bit on day 2?

Bicycle Trailer
This afternoon I went over to Wheel Fast and picked up a bike trailer for David. It’s a Burley Bee which seems to be well built and collapses into a good size to store in the garage or trunk of my car. Here it is, attached to my bike and David getting all strapped in:
Well, lets just say he wasn’t too impressed or happy with his first ride.
Not happy David:
