J’s time with Riley now occurs in the morning. It’s sweet to see them together and Riley clearly enjoys being with his dad. After I feed him in the morning, I bring him in to J where they hang out in the bed (see July 9 blog for pics) and Riley just chatters away until sleep overtakes him. After he naps, he sits on the bed while daddy irons his clothes. They listen to one of his children’s CDs and daddy plays with him while he gets ready for work. I love how Riley looks so intently at J as he's playing with him.
Dancing to his Pooh songs:
I had to have the dreaded root canal this morning, so Miss Alecia came over for an early morning stroller walk and watched Riley while I was at my appt. I had such a good time on our walk I was actually able to forget about the r.c. for an hour. I’ve been anxious about this for almost a week as my last r.c. (7 years ago) was a horrible experience in which I wasn’t able to be fully numbed and was zapped with pain throughout the procedure. I’d take 10 hours of active labor over repeating that 90 min procedure. Thankfully, I had an endodontist that had an ace up his sleeve and numbed the nerve to be removed, not just the area around the nerve. So, the anticipation of pain and the initial injections were the worst part of the experience (yes, I was shaking and teary eyed at first). It’s interesting how that kind of pain can bring me to my knees and reduce me to a “cry-baby” state. Not so tough, after all.
Riley, on the other hand, had a great time with Miss Alecia -- didn't miss me one bit.
I’ll close with another Riley shot in another one of his Zutano outfits, with a sweet look on his face:
