Mission accomplished. 48-plus hours of solo parenting and both myself and the nipper survived!
More than that, for the first time really, I feel as if we've got to know each other. With work commitments and all I've not really spent much 'quality time' alone with him, and that's really the only way to find out about his developing personality, what he likes doing and what he doesn't (being dressed very squarely falls into the latter category!).
It's just like making friends with somebody, only of course the bonds are much stronger. The whole thing seemed like a sort of holiday from my normal existence, which all the best experiences should be. Of course I'm now trying to pack the missus off for another break so I can have another crack at it!
It also makes me realise that we should be more concerted in taking as much video footage and as many still pictures as we can, because every stage he goes through he'll never go back to. One of my particular favourites at the moment is his very vocal eating style, not perhaps straight out of the Debrett's school of manners but very entertaining and certainly proof that's he's enjoying what he eats.
Oh well, back to the daily grind of work today. Wonder what he's up to this minute?
