Who's the Boss? That's easy...

"What shall I decide today? So many options!"

If life with a newborn is all about balance… then right now we’re like Bambi on the frozen pond… still trying to get our legs under us.

Hold on I think I need to go change a diaper…

Ok I’m back now.

Here’s the thing. You spend the first part of your life being told what to do by your parents, then your teachers, and now a number of bosses. They all had one thing in common… they could walk & talk. Now the person in charge of my life can’t do either.

Dominic decides it all. He dictates when we eat, when and how much we sleep, where we go, when we go (there’s no more “quick trips” to the store). And while he’s not exactly Clinton Kelly, he can even decide for you “what not to wear” (albeit in a much messier fashion).

He decided that mommy didn’t need a bagel the other morning, so he created a “diaper” situation that allowed the dog to steal it. He also helps other people make decisions, like when we took him to a nice restaurant and you could see people deciding whether to stay. For someone so small… he wields a lot of power.

We are slowly learning. Melissa has mastered making dinner is very small increments. I’ve finally figured out that if I’m going to blog I need to make it shorter, and while he’s eating.

Now if we could only figure out how to get more sleep.
