It's been peaches and cream so far in the Mission suburbs. Any hope Baleen and I had that our young son would just fall apart without us ended when we landed in Boston on Thursday evening to a half dozen videos and pictures on our iPhones. He was a-smiling in every one.
We didn't want him to suffer during our time apart, but we were hoping for just the tiniest indication that we were his favorite diaper cleaners and bathers. But it seems that if you read to him, take him on walks, and, most importantly, feed the growing boy five times a day, then he'll be kind for you, too.
Don't worry, I told Baleen, as she viewed the most recent smiling video. We're in this for the long haul.
