Before I get into the reason that I am not bitter, here is some much needed background information for you:
I stay at home with Zachariah. I am at home with him all day. Every day. There has not been a day of his life where I have not been home with him. The most I have left him with a sitter (aka: grandparents) has been two and a half hours. I am with him when Daniel is at work and I am also with him when Daniel comes home. I change his gosh awful diapers, I play with him, I console him, I tickle him, I laugh at him, and I love on him. Every. Single. Day.
Often when Daniel gets home from work he will entertain Zachariah while I get dinner ready. It helps me get dinner ready without a one year old hanging on my legs yelling at me, and it gives Daniel some one on one time with his son. So its a win-win situation for both of us.
Now that you have had that bit of information, you may continue with the reason for this post...

Zachariah took his first two steps today! Or at least thats what I hear.
That's right. I wasn't actually there. My darling son took his first steps in the 30 minute window where Daniel was entertaining him and I was in another room cooking dinner.
Am I the only one that thinks this is just plain wrong?????
oh my goodness! it is plain wrong! i wish you BOTH could have seen it happen. boo! hopefully you'll get to enjoy many more firsts with him, though. there are still lots to come! everyday B amazes me with a new word.
ReplyDeleteIn all fairness I was the one who saw his first smile and heard his first word (even if it was "Dada"). So you know, that is something. But still! :)
ReplyDeleteyes, STILL! that's a major first!
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! Sad. Well I guess you should get used to it. They always love the Dad most because he isn't the one at home with them all the time! At least that's been my experience...
ReplyDeleteBut at least I saw his first roll over!! :)
Bummer! Oh well...there'll be many more "firsts" to experience.
ReplyDeletewhat I think is plain wrong is that you've only left Z for up to 2 1/2 hours at a time in the last YEAR...you need to get out more girl! :)
Hayley- Oh yeah! I forgot you were there to see him almost roll off the ottoman! haha
ReplyDeleteTammi- Well in my defense, that only counts the hours he is awake. We have been out a little longer when he is asleep. :) But yeah... I guess I need to work on that. lol
