Getting out the Door
Is it just me or does it seem like just when your about to get out the door things start to go wrong?
Today I was planning on walking one mile with The Kid in the carrier to meet my wife at a coffee shop, just in time for her next feeding. The Kid had just fallen asleep so the goal was to transfer her from the bed to the carrier without much stirring, slip on my shoes and hit the road. Well, it wasn’t exactly a smooth transfer and she flipped out. I tried calming her but that didn’t really work, and I was considering calling The Wife to just meet us at home, but then I decided to just go for it. I got The Kid in the carrier slipped my shoes on and hit the road. with attentioned focused on her I finally got her to calm down, however she lost some little knitted booties I had just put on her. My untied old shoes wore a blister on the heel of one of my feet, but we made it peacefully to the coffee shop and everything worked out.
Just one of those days I guess.

I find that the more desperate I am for the transfer to go smoothly, the less the likely it will. Some sort of Murphy’s Laws for Babies. Bummer about the lost booties.
