Well, I survived day one...

Evening all. Ah, the relief, peace at last. HP has just gone to bed, we've had a great day, it's not often that I can take the time off work to spend any quality time with him, so I've really enjoyed it.

Well most of it - as I feared in my last post, he was more than generous with the noxious substances he outputs, with not one, not two, not three, but four unpleasant parcels! - I reckon my other half fed him laxatives yesterday to make sure I learn my lesson!

Based on my day, here's a quick list of things I must teach HP asap...

1) Patience - How do you reason with a 2 and half year old?
2) It's Daddy's XBox...
3) Not everyone in life will bribe him with chocolate milkshakes like I do
4) How to use the potty (the sooner the better, but I'm reliably informed that boys are lazy and it might take some time...)
5)How to put his stuff away - you should see the state of the house. - Mind you, his mum would say thats a trait he's inherited from me!

What I've learnt today...
1) HP is actually a little person, with a real sense of humour.
2) That being a mum is really hard work, I'm shattered after one day!
3) That I can look after him if I have to.
4) I've missed too much of him through working too much. I've got to try to do something about that.

Anyway enough of the proud dad rubbish, I've got an hour or so 'til Angie get's home, so a chance for a nice cold beer and some undisturbed blogging...
