This month he had his first tornado warning, which was more frightening for me than him. As a precaution, I placed a cell phone charger, diapers, wipes, flashlights, his car seat, a bottle, formula and a camera (haha) in the closet. We were prepared just in case it decided to turn our way!
TJ and I started leaving him in the nursery during Sunday School and church. For some reason, this was very difficult for me. When TJ and I dropped him off I had so many instructions for the nursery keepers that the sweet lady said (without sarcasm), "If you want me to come get you when he wakes up I will." I'll be honest, while sitting in church all I could think about was him. Is he crying? Did they burp him? Is he wondering where his mommy and daddy are? After the closing hymn I was the first one out the door to go check on him. When I walked in he was sound to sleep in his moses basket with a full (burped) belly. We truly do have the sweetest nursery workers and I haven't had a problem dropping him off since. I do still go check on him in between church and Sunday School and I'm not sure if that will ever end. :)
He met someone who keeps him distracted for a good 15-20 minutes. We love this guy! His name is Mr. Ceiling Fan. Do you know what I can get done in 15 minutes these days? I can shower…eat…wash bottles…clean....
All those other babysitters - play mat, swing, mobile, toys - are nothing compared to Mr. Fan. His ability to entertain our son is supreme. We’ll be using him for as long as possible…
