One Father's Day, Three Squirts
Today was my first Father's Day. We managed to make it down to Domenic and Erica's (Myles and Colby's Mom and Dad) for their annual party and it was awesome. I introduced myself to everyone, even people I knew as "Anthony Sculimbrene--Dad." Everyone was there and got to see Isaac. I apologize to anyone that I offended, by thrusting hand sanitizer into their hands prior to them touching Isaac, but I am a first time parent and highly paranoid. In the end everyone had a great time. It was surprisingly exhausting going down there for what used to be an easy day trip. No easy trips with Isaac. We are on his schedule now. Plus I had nightmares of MRSA dancing in my head the entire time. It was only feasible because Nanna is still kind enough to be with us.
Prior to the trip to Rhode Island Bianca and Isaac presented me with three very nice Father's Day gifts: a pocket sharpener for knives, a pair of headphones (I lost my previous pair--a beautifully designed set of Bang and Olufsen headphones I got for our second wedding anniversary), and a brand new pocket tool--the newly released and wonderfully well-designed Leatherman PS4 Squirt. I mention this not because this is a gear review but because it is thematic.
See, my little Squirt, Isaac Anthony and his Mommy got it for me for Father's Day. So that is two Squirts.
Then when we were resting this morning he was sitting on my lap making faces when all of a sudden I felt a little poot out of his bottom end. I waited a few seconds and then got up and changed him. My Dad had warned me about waiting, that often the first poot is just a precursor to a larger assplosion. But being the new Dad, the eager Dad, I ran in and changed Isaac. He was laying on his little changing table when all of a sudden he shot out a stream of poop that plopped across the entire 4 1/2 foot long changing table. It also caught me in the hand, as I was in the middle of changing him.
And it made everyone laugh--me, Nanna, and Bianca. I think even Isaac chuckled at his silly Dad.
So one Father's Day and Three Squirts.
Happy Father's Day to my Dad, Domenic Sr., Domenic Jr., Woody, and all other Dads. I am happy to have joined the club.
