The only adult

E's Dad is off to Panama for the week. He is a travel writer and gets to go to cool places. Pre Munchie I sometimes got to go with him, and we would have so much fun -- not just because it was pretty much free either.

This is his first trip since E was born, and therefor, the first time I'll be alone for an extended amount of time. I'll miss him like I always do when he travels, but I will really miss his help with E. I don't know how single Mothers do it. It is hard taking care of a baby and you need a break and adult conversation.

I think I need to start instituting a more regular nap schedule for E. Bear. My current methodology is to let him nap whenever he falls asleep on me. But this makes it hard for his Nanas when they watch him, and I'm sure it isn't fair for him to fall asleep on my lap because he is purely exhausted and Mommy missed all the earlier cues. Right now he will literally just fall asleep sitting up and then I say, "oh, I guess you are tired." He naps every 2-3 hours he is awake. I'm going to start trying to get him to nap at regular times every day rather than the current haphazard method.
