Planning my Saturdays...

Heather and I have always been in agreement that it would be great for me to have a special ritual with Braeden. Something that only he and I do together and we can all look forward to. So the thing I've settled on is "Saturday's with Daddy". The plan is (for a while atleast) every Saturday I will take him out to a park, or the zoo or something and we both let Mom sleep in. Works out great for me because I get to have time alone with my son to teach him about burping, and the in-field fly rule. And Heather gets a morning to herself, which from what I understand, is something that will become increasingly rare as our lives continue.

So now, I'm just planning the locations. I've got to take him to the sculpture garden at Nelson Atkins, The KC Zoo, and Grandma C of course suggested the park located conveniently near her house. The only thing that is really worrying me at this point is the diaper bag. It's an intimidating little backpack. I've looked at 5 different web sites and now have 5 different lists of "essentials" that should be in it. Toys, diapers, cream, wipes, etc... But from what I understand, I have to just wait and see what works for us. So it's becoming apparent that the first few "Saturday's with Daddy" will be very interesting and I'll need to be pretty resourceful. I'll keep you all posted.
