weekend with dad

Lelaine had a much deserved weekend out of town with the book clubbers so poor Jack was stuck with me all weekend. Fortunately we both survived.

Lelaine dropped the little one off with me on Friday afternoon and Jack had a thrilling hour or two in the office, followed by a stop by District Taco since I had been told it was national taco day. We had a low key evening at our place and were visited by a few friends. Jack slept well that night, so we were off to a good start.

Saturday was a tremendous day. After doing some work at home and cleaning up in the morning I took Jack where any good father of a ten week old would take his son on a fall boys weekend - to an Octoberfest party. After Jack's first metro ride, we met up with Doug and Kevin and had a nice day in Columbia Heights eating kielbasa and pretzels, watching a dog costume contest, and drinking a couple of beers. Truth be told Jack slept 95% of the time, but he did so well that I decided that instead of going home in the afternoon, we would join Doug in swinging by Maddy's to watch Mizzou play Vandy. The Tigers jumped out to a quick 17-0 lead and all was right in the world.

Although he continued to sleep well that night, Mr. Jack was not in the best of moods most of Sunday. He was probably upset we were staying at home and not going out to more bars (or he missed his mom). Luckily for Jack, Lelaine came home early afternoon.

My first prolonged one on one time with him was a success.
