Stepping out with my baby

The kid is popular. Last week, in the span of 2 days, he

  1. Went to a friend’s house for Indian cuisine and let Mum & Dad play Rock Band
  2. Attended a Christmas luncheon with Cool Mum’s friends
  3. Took Cool Dad to a goodbye party for a friend who’s moving to NYC. He even got tagged in the party pics on Facebook! Cool Dad did not.

In the last 36 hours, he

  1. Hung out at a dessert party with some kids, including a cool boy from Ethiopia
  2. Went to a hip restaurant for an after-work gathering with Cool Mum’s ladies

From Europe and coming home afterward, we learned that the guy is a social butterfly. Or at his age, a social caterpillar? Anyway, if he’s cooped up in the house with just lame ol’ Mum and Dad all day, he gets quite cranky.

He already dresses better than I do, now he’s more popular. There is hope ahead though: stranger anxiety.
