Test Run...

So, the wife and I took the day off today to run errands, and generally be lazy. It just so happens that my 4 month old nephew also decided today was the day to have diarrhea, so he couldn't go to daycare. You can see where this is going.

So, test run on parenting today. The good news is that the wife had to get up early for the arrival of the boy, and I slept through the first yucky diaper. I got up in time to feed him, then we got ourselves together and headed out the door.

Well, the kid is an angel. Two whimpers for a dirty diaper, three for an empty stomach. Easy, easy, easy. We went to the mall, to Ikea, and back home for the farmer's market with no issue whatsoever.

So...the question is...does this day prove that we are at least partially prepared for parenting an infant? Or is this the universe just showing us how easy it could be, but then giving us the hell child? I think I'm betting on the second. I never get out that easy.
