Greetings followers of Calvin's Capers. This is Calvin's mama making a guest appearance. Wanted to share some of my day with Calvin...
This morning...well, maybe it was more like noon, I got him calmed down enough to put him in the car seat, take him into the bathroom and have a shower. He started whimpering, I pulled the curtain back while washing my hair to tell him everything was *OK*. He listened and stared at me blankly ... and then, like a volcano eruption, he started screaming crying and his face turned bright red. I laughed - yes, I laughed at my incredibly frightened, 7-week old son - rinsed my hair, pulled the shower curtain back more and again told him everything was okay. He believed me that time...for a few seconds. 'Twas a short shower.
We had a successful outing to three different shops today! Yes! Halfway through lugging the stroller and Calvin in his car seat out of and into the car 6 times, I smelled the full effects of a too-short shower.
He pooped on my friend Stacy. Somehow this poop got on her jeans, but missed his second St. Patrick's Day outfit. He pooped on the first one. Later he pooped green and I realized that this might count for his St. Patty's Day green.
He spent a good ten minutes under his new play-arch-mat-thingy. This allowed me time to make a phone call, brush my teeth and videotape him being really cute under said thingy.
I've learned that I can multi-task more than I ever thought possible. It's amazing how much tidying one can do while brushing teeth.
Toby made him smile a lot by leaning his head back and taking a big, deep breath in an effort to calm Calvin down. One of the *cuter* moments of the day. When Calvin smiles - his whole face smiles. It is pure joy...his eyes squeeze up and his normally furrowed brow relaxes. I LOVE him.
More Mamaposts to come...I'm eager to share my days with anyone who'll listen.
