Diana scored a new (used) baby tub for $12, and Simon loves it. He just splashed away like crazy, and had plenty of room to kick and have a good time. I'm glad, because he didn't seem to be having as much fun in his old tub because he was so wedged into it.
Diana did a moms' night out with other moms tonight, so after bath time, I got Simon dressed and we played on the floor for a little bit, before sending him to bed around 6:30. I had a really good day with him, and it was really well balanced. I also had him while Diana went grocery shopping. I didn't get up until a little before 9 (I did his midnight-ish feeding), so I was well rested. We had good feeding times, some good laughs and play time, and he went to bed for me like an angel, twice.
Meanwhile, I found time to do some code work, and I felt accomplished. With the warm but not sweltering weather, the apartment was cool too. We didn't do any couple stuff really today, but it was still a pretty good day overall. In fact, Diana gave me high praise today for being a heavily engaged dad, which is apparently something a lot of dads aren't good at. The moms she meets with ask questions like, "You left your baby with your husband? How is that possible?" That's weird to me, because I love to spend time with Simon, including the "work" of feeding, changing and bathing him.
Hooray for a great day!
Sounds like Simon is ready for a visit to Splashin' Safari! :0)
