I had an early morning call today so the baby and I awoke extra early today -- too early if you ask me. I think the baby must have been surprised that I actually got out of bed upon hearing the alarm as opposed to sleeping right through it (or trying to anyway) as I normally tend to do. Since I knew that I had to leave much earlier than usual today I built in some extra time for feeding and playing so that the baby wouldn't feel ripped off or confused or whatever's going on in that little coconut head of hers. Anyway, it all worked out -- the baby got her playtime, she got her usual fill of treats while I snuck out the door, and I got to work on time.
It had been the plan to be home a little earlier than usual since I'd left so early in the morning, but alas it was not to be so due to a late afternoon assignment. Why do bosses always wait until the end of the day to give out assignments? Anyway, thank goodness for remote desktop cuz despite the late notice I still managed to get away at a decent time.
Upon my return, the baby and I played some fetch and then she had some dinner. Then later she and I shared in some popcorn. She tried to be sly and secretly picked up a couple of the kernels that had fallen onto the floor; but luckily for me, she figured out two things w/o doing too much damage to herself: (1) they're not as tastey unpopped, and (2) they seemed to be a bit tough for her teeth. After a rest, and a little Olympics-watching the baby and I headed out for our evening stroll. Nothing too eventful occurred, though the baby did "play" (or at least the closest the baby ever comes to playing) with this largish pup that was also out for a run on Cadman Plaza. That pup must've been 60lbs or so, but I have to say that the baby held her own -- she's quick and fierce!
