Father's Day

The Dragon Boss started Father's Day off right, sleeping soundly through the night, so soundly that at 5.50am, when Baleen and I awoke wondering how we hadn't been awoken when we had multiple times the night before, she made me open his creaking bedroom door to make sure he was alright.

The monitor showed that he startled, but stayed asleep, and when he finally woke up around 6.30, he did so with a big smile on his face for the first person he saw, his dad. Quite a Father's Day gift from the little guy.

But that wasn't it. Baleen came through strong, as she does, with a Father's Day theme of paternal experiences. First, there was Whit's adorable little blue speedo to match the one his father wears in the Bay, in addition to a swim lesson next Saturday at La Petite Baleen in the Presidio, followed by a couple of books, Bay Area Hikes for Kids and the Boy Scout handbook for new dads. If you want to know how to construct an emergency diaper out of a towel, a sock and that ever present man gear, duct tape, just let me know.
