Day 2: BOB and Weave

Like a boxing match, taking care of Dash for an entire day is test of endurance. Unfortunately, Daddy's stamina is undermined by a perpetually sore back combined with an incredibly giant baby. The real problem is, whenever Dash is ready for a nap, about the only way to get him to sleep is to wear him in the Moby (a baby wrap that makes Daddy look like a Bantu hutwife). Then walk him up and down the stairs. Repeatedly. In a moment of rare lucidity, Daddy realized that whenever he takes Dash for a run in the BOB Revolution (a stupidly named stroller), Dash falls promptly to sleep. So...Daddy threw Dash into the BOB (very, very gently) and proceeded to weave around the living room and dining room until, voila!, baby was fast asleep.

Now if Daddy can just figure out a way to get Dash to drink more than 5 ounces of milk in the 11 hours the lad is in his charge -- keep in mind he normally takes in 30 ounces each day! -- he will be able to declare another small victory.
