I've been away from home for a while now and it is indeed nice to be diaper free at times, sleeping through the night etc. Ah yes, maybe if I never return...
But I wouldn't do that! In fact, as any parent can attest, you quickly begin to miss the little one. I don't know how the dead beat dads do it. I actually thought up that blog title because I recently discovered the feature on these blogs where the writer can see how people come to visit his or her particular post. By this I mean I can see what sort of google or yahoo search terms are being used to lead readers to a particular posting. I was particularly curious about this because I noticed that certain post title were drawing un unusually higher numbers. For instance the title "Is Your Baby Gay?" led to spike in visits and upon examination I saw that the most common google search which led people there was "gay diaper"...I'm afraid those people didn't get what they were looking for. Another popular post was titled "Can you drink breast milk?" In this case I think most people were actually looking for what they found, but the post titled "Naked Babies!" (#3 most poplular) may also have been a dissapointment to some searchers.
Anyway, I'm in NYC now for work while Elsie and her mom stay at home and try to get through life without me. Apparently things are going well and not to sound gushy but I really do look forward to the moment when I can hold little Elsie in my arms again. And Maggie too! I've posted some picture of Elsie and cousin Ida in their halloween get-ups, in case you were wondering why they were dressed as bees. Ida was a little grumpy about her costume since she couldn't strech out her legs. We went trick or treating but didn't let the girls eat any candy. I wonder if we could keep up that tradition?
