Mooooo...

Today's big adventure has been brought to you by the letters P for Poo, C for Cattle and the number 6 which was the total number of babies i had at my place today!

But i'll get to that later. First off, my lovely wife once again sprung to me in the morning that 'yay' i get to bring Jalen to a photoshoot for the company Agoo. Considering i've never heard of em, i was a bit less than thrilled but oh well.. s'long as the kid learns to pay his way, might as well start em young i spose!

Left home a tad late as most unprepared Dad's are known to do, and along with my usual stash of 6 disposable diapers, i made my way to Kits for the photoshoot. Holy mother of Cattle Calls Batman! There must've been at least a dozen to 15 parents and kids lining up in this modest little studio with a photographer and her two assistants making goo-goo noises to some not surprisingly frightened little kids!

Luckily for us we had a total Modern Family moment where Jalen seemed to be the only ethnic baby there so the photographer took to him uber fast. Got him in a green diaper and flash! flash! flash!, 10 mins later we were done. Shouldn't have put that 2 bucks in the parking meter i tell yas. Altho i must admit i was glad we were done quick as i overheard one of the other mom's telling the secretary they had driven all the way from the Valley to make this photoshoot. Now i'm all for the kid earning bucks early but c'mon.. a possibly 4 hr commute here and back? Geepers!

Rewind back a couple hrs and i had the pleasure of hosting my very first baby gathering - not really quite sure of what to do at such things, i generally just sat back and let the mothers talk and the kids crawl. Was grateful to Tina for bringing a fruit platter and even more so when she was keeping Jalen entertained for a bit while Daddy got to chill out on the couch and actually not have to DO something. That was very very good. I wonder if i can pawn the kid off to a different mother every week? hmm, food for thought indeed! :)

Otherwise the kids were all pretty awesome.. was interesting to get feedback and hear stories about other kids and what to expect. I am not looking forward to when Jalen get's more of his teeth in, as my already limited hours of sleep nightly looks to be reduced even further. Bah, can't return 'em i spose!

This weekend will be another beast entirely. As our housecleaner was unable to make it on Thursday, i now have the pleasure of cleaning the entire house by myself, including mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, doing the laundry etc etc.

So if i don't blog this weekend, chances are i'll be passed out on the couch or something.

Oh and i promised myself i'll try and limit Poo talk but i just have to say, you know a kid has a big poo coming when he goes 'grunt, grunt... ah......grunt, grunt... ah...., grunt, grunt, *smile*, ah... ' which is what Jalen did moments before he flooded and leaked his diaper into ruin!

and that folks is my observation of the day, so till next time on Mr Mom Vs Ba..zzzzzzz
