Mom is on the lam
Well, not really — on Sunday, Leslie left Esme alone with dad for the first time. Now, technically, she took the dogs on a walk a few weeks ago, though meant that there was really only about 10 minutes where I could really mess things up. While Leslie and Sara hit up a good sale at the baby/infant resale shop, dad and daughter were left to fend for themselves for about 3 hours. After a nice crying fit (mainly Esme), things settled down and Esme had a nice nap. Not one to let a sleeping baby slow me down, I decided to bring Esme along for the ride as I took care of stuff around the house. (Thanks to Lindsey who passed this along to us!) With a bit of practice, I was even able to get a good picture of us together.
We’re looking forward to spending more time along together soon; after all, if I want Leslie to watch Esme while go biking, I need to return the favor somehow.
