Weekends as a Dad

I had an uneventful but nice weekend. We didn’t really do anything too exciting and I spent most of the time just taking care of my son. For better or worse, this is probably the new norm now as a father.

My weekend evenings are now spent mostly at home. We relax a bit in the late afternoon. Play with Colin and then put him to bed. Then perhaps have a couple glasses of wine with Sophia and order a nice delivery dinner.

The weekend afternoons are filled with parent errands and outdoor activities. We go to the stores to get groceries and things we need for the week. Then we try to get him outside as much as possible. We spent Saturday afternoon at Fort Funston on a gorgeous day and took Colin for a walk.

Lunches at restaurants are perhaps the only time Sophia and I get to eat out nowadays. I miss going out to dinner with all my friends though. We try to make up for it by having some nice lunches.

At this age, there’s just not that much to do with Colin besides take him around with us and play with him. Everyone keeps telling me to enjoy this point in time because they get a lot more difficult as they run around so I’m aiming to do just that.

My life is a lot more boring nowadays, but boring is good and I’m really enjoying my weekends as a Dad.
