sitting in the cart, the county fair, & crying it out

Today I left Henry sit (well toddle) in the front of a grocery cart... he looked so precious wedged between saltine crackers and Fiber One bars to keep from toppling over.

We started Henry on solid foods a few weeks ago. Solid foods = Solid....diapers Danny has somehow avoided these diapers, until today. While changing Henry's diaper he proclaimed "Henry! You smell like the county fair!" lol

Tonight Danny and I put on our pare t hats and let Henry self soothe to sleep. aka scream pitiful bloody murder for 30 mins. it.was.awful. We sat in the hall passing a beer back and forth until he wore himself out. The baby book tells me I am a good parent for doing this, but I feel like "the county fair"
