Well, Ricky is twenty days shy of one year old, and I'm home alone with him for the night. Alli is in Seattle. Yep. Just incompetent daddy and the boy.
Let me back up... she left me alone with him for a night in July... I was admittedly nervous because he still wasn't sleeping well. My folks came in to town, Dad and I built a fence, and Mom helped with Ricky. She even got up with him in the middle of the night (thanks Mom!).
Fast forward, and the day has finally come. Now it's Alli that has to be away overnight on business. I'm swamped at work (been pulling 12's for the past two months), and a bit nervous to say the least.
I dropped him off at my in-laws' this morning at 6:30 to get to work for a 7:30 meeting. Got home at about 6:45. Picked him up. Wasn't sure if he would be tired or not. But put him down at about 7:45, no fussing. Home free?
It's 9:00. He's asleep, and I'm blogging. I'm going to go to bed soon in anticipation of a 4am feeding.

I used to say to myself only half joking: dumber people than me have successfully raised kids, so it must be doable...
