Still not much to say

My wife and son have been home now for about three weeks.

He was 5 weeks when he got here, and he’s now 8 weeks.

My wife’s back still hurts, which means she can’t pick up our son to console him when he’s crying. It’s hard on everyone.

Yesterday and today, after his 4am feeding, my wife has been able to get him back to sleep. For today, I’ve used this time to have my “me time”. I volunteer to sleep with my son at 8am, and my wife gets her me time at night.

I played Dragon Quest V for PS2, and now I am writing here while having some tea.

I cannot express how comfortable it is to play Dragon Quest V for PS2, and there would need to be so much background explained for our non-video game enthusiast readers, so I will need to ask you to take me at my word.

I haven’t read Narnia in a while, but I want to start again soon. I’m hoping the crying gets less in a few weeks, making it easier to do.

I recently also bought beautiful hardcover copies of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I haven’t actually ever read them before, but I look forward to doing so after we finish Narnia. (I will have to start reading more than a page a day of Narnia.)

My wife and I realize just how much we are on our smart phones around our son, and we have such good intentions to stop that once he is a little older, and we’re not constantly waiting for the next cries to start. We want to read more in front of him when we are having our “adult time”.

We look forward to being able to play with him more. We now sometimes do exercises that it mentions online, or that the person from the Ward Office mentioned when she came over to visit. That visit was a good experience, and when I am clearer thinking, I would love to write something about this.

I have every intention to restart my podcast that I do in Japanese, Saitama Freeway. I would call it Saitama Freeway: Season 2, and it would be about more than video games this time. I feel there was something more I wanted to say about this, but I have forgotten it already.

I’m not sure what our plans are today, but perhaps when either of us (my wife and I) has time, we will continue cleaning up the house so that the entire house is clean. I would love to talk more seriously with my wife about moving and what sort of location is realistic and what sort of price we could do. I think I am in a stable position at my company, but I would still want to wait until next year to go ahead with it. Just planning for now.

That’s all really. I’ll post this now, and edit grammatical mistakes later.
