Today marked Erin’s return to the working world. She has taken a part-time position at Mychael Peters 360 salon, working two day shifts a week at their new, beautiful location on Lake Ivanhoe. This means that on Tuesdays and Thursdays it’s my time to be with Kai. I’ve never been alone with him for that long of a period of time.
We started our first day together with a nap. Then we played and after a couple hours it was time to eat. While he will take a bottle, it is definitely not his first choice. After he finally finished eating, we went for a lovely jog/walk down to Lake Baldwin. We saw an osprey and several vultures along the way, and everyone was smiling and waving at us. Apparently Kai is the cutest baby ever.
By the time we got to his third bottle today, he was holding the bottle himself and drained all 2 ounces of formula in one sitting. I guess it took him a couple tries to get used to the taste of the formula, or to get really hungry, and then he was off to the races. And then he ate again when Erin got home from work a half-hour later. He is an eating machine!
Tonight at work some of our really wealthy guests came in to hang out. One of our regulars is the owner of one of the largest real estate investment trusts in the nation, and is truly a multi-millionaire. His Christmas present this year is a Gulfstream jet, a product that costs approximately 1 million dollars a year just to maintain. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not some flashy asshole or anything. My point is that sometimes when presented with the knowledge of what someone else has, it’s hard not to think of what I don’t have. While I may not have his assets, he does not have what I have, and I can say that what I have he cannot buy. My wife is amazing. My son is beyond belief. My family is whole and complete, and we are getting our life on track for material success as well. So while my friends may have private jets and Maserati’s, I know that I have a life that inspires me and calls me to be.
Until next time, “so long, farewell, I bid you all good night.”
