Single Dad Chronicles #2: The Stash is Tapped
Posted on 11.07.05 by joy @ 8.50pm
Day 3:
So far so good. Zubin has been sleeping well and eating everything in sight. He seems to be slightly more aware of M’s absence. When we brought the little guy back from Grandma’s place, he was checking behind doors and corners to see if she would pop out.  

I'm still alive Mom!Last night, we were playing and speaking with mom on the phone when I realized that feeding time had come and gone. The Z-unit must have read my mind, because he started with the heroine withdrawal-type whining on cue. I ran over to the fridge to get a bottle and found…that my stash was low. Zubin’s nanny has been preparing the bottles of formula and leaving them for us since she started and well, I got used to it. I hastily rummaged around some supplies. I found a can of premade formula behind a giant tub of powder. Score! No mixing. I then turned to look for the bottle to serve it up to the little man. I thought I was in real trouble when I found a collection of ol’ dirty bottles and nipples in the sink, but I managed to excavate an unused clean bottle from the back of the dishwasher and found a bagged for travel nipple in his stroller bag. Made it back with goods just in time to thwart the tantrum and let the magic milk lull him to sleep.

Single Dad Chronicles #1: The Grandparent’s Escape
Posted on 11.05.05 by joy @ 8.21pm

Zubin alive on Day #1So wifey has gone on a business trip. For a week. one week. Business trip. Just wanted to make that clear. I have basically interpreted this as the supreme test of the bench strength of our parenting resource pool. The attack minded specialist (ie. me) has to step in and play the number 10 with support from the experienced backline(soccer metaphor). Also, I figure for homegirl’s pleasure and sanity, since she is on the other side of the world, I’ll put up a daily post and photo to let her know that the Z-Unit is alright (and me too). (more…)
