To continue from my previous post, I realized that yesterday was a first for me; until yesterday I had not been ‘on the town’ alone with baby Alan for any length of time. Sure, I had been out of the house on several occasions but for the most part, I was without Alan, with Alan and my wife, or I went to a relative’s house where I could pass of the baby and relax. However, yesterday I was on my own with Alan in the big city.
The journey started with a short drive into Toronto for lunch and eventually ended when the Blue Jays beat the Royals 7-4. After lunch, there was about one and a half hours to waste until I met up with my sister for the game and a slight break from the baby. I ended up sticking around work and bugging all the condemned souls suffering in cubical hell. Much to my surprise, it was a rather pleasant visit but then again my bosses were not there and I was able to dodge the worst of the bunch (unfortunately some others were missing so I may need to return with Alan).
Alan didn’t seem to mind being tossed around like a beach ball from person to person and he seemed to particularly like the ‘cool kids’. He was quite the happy baby for the entire day, even late into the ball game when he should have been sleeping. It seems the nap he took while walking from the office to the dome (excuse me, the Rogers Centre) helped prevent him from getting cranky at the game. Since this outing was such a success, I should not be so nervous prior to the next big outing we partake in and as soon as the weather warms up, we will hopefully go on more outings.
