come on feel the noise

well, rowan and i are most of the way through our second ever boys of rock and roll, no-mamas allowed afternoon. yesterday was day 1 and i'll be honest--it was pretty rough. it was rowan's first time trying to use a bottle (liz has been pumping industriously) so there were some sad faces. sad faces and lots of screaming.

however, today has been much easier. ro took a nap after mama left for her meeting, and woke up predictably hungry. it was touch-and-go for awhile, but warming the bottle up, changing feeding rooms, and positions seemed to help. he ate enough to spit up, so i marked it down as a win. we listened to the pod and danced when rowan was fussy--pavement's "range life" was well-received. the beastie boys were not.

i've put in my notice at the buckaroo, and i'll be looking to freelance it and hold down the fort while liz fights syphilis. liz met a stay-at-home dad in the park the other day--he's some sort of teacher who does private tutoring and primary-caregives. maybe we can make baby-people friends with he and his wife. we also recently discovered a walkersvillain living in our neighborhood, kim o, who was right between me and my brother in high school.

...and now liz has gotten home, so rowie gets a real meal.
