Elizabeth, Scott and Scotty Wilder

Chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-chug-a-chug

Elizabeth and I had a romantic dinner tonight --- listening to a CD of the sounds and rhythmic noises of the womb. It sounded as if we were on a train that was starting out and moving very slowly and very loudly on railroad tracks.

"chug-a-chug-a-chug-achug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chugchug-a-chug-a-chug"

Waiting for Daddy...

"When is Daddy going to wake up so we can go outside and see the world?"

(Just an update -- reposting an old post)

Hi family and friends:

It might be another few weeks until you can come over and say hi. Mommy and Daddy are still scrambling to figure things out. Tonight, for example, Daddy learned how to change diapers.. You should see all the mess he left on my changing table....

I will let you know when the coast is clear and you can come over to visit.

Can't wait to meet everyone.....

Love S. S. Wilder

"I walk the line..."

Well, I tried to be a little bit of a 'pushy dad' and have S. S. Wilder move up one diaper size, but diaper  Size 1 was too big, so we now are back on the Newborn size.

Don't worry, nothing leaked. Pampers still absorbed everything with it's Sesame Street diapers.

Yes, I am seeing 'Ernie' and his friends every day -- several times a day when I change his Pampers.

The best feature of their diapers impacts both of us -- S. S. and S. K.
And it isn't even advertised on their site...

The best feature is the 'blue line' ----

Every day, several times a day, I visually watch the line ....I walk the line with my eyes to see
if the yellow line on his diapers has turned to blue, indicating that he has a wet diaper.

Every day, like Johnny Cash described in his song 'I walk the line'

See more lyrics below...
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

More on the first day out...

More from yesterday's posting...-- which by the was the S. S. Wilder's first outing.

Here are his prison fatigues:

Here he is being carried out to his stroller (I felt like a pizza delivery man):

Here's the wave of teenage germs coming our way:

Agent Katie and 'the first day out'

The S. S. Wilder escaped today. See below for a snap shot in his jail outfit. (Clothing provided by Nora)

In fact, he was given some parole time from our house as he took his first round trip around San Francisco. 

Dad was so concerned about his safety that he sent the lovely Katie, a professional nurse, to keep an eye on him (and of course,  on his mom). 

While Scottie was in his Bug-a-boo, Katie walked beside him in her dark sun glasses as if she was a secret service agent.....keeping any germs from coming his way. 

They did have one scare ---- when a pack of sweaty, sneezing high school girls came running towards them. 

Mom didn't know what to do....

But Agent Katie stepped in and told them to stay away from the recently released prisoner.

See Agent Katie in action below.

Agent Katie went beyond the call of duty and also assisted in some emergency diaper changing along Spruce Street.

Here she is warming up her hands for some diaper changing....

Thank you Katie for taking care of little Scotty today...

More pics to follow....

Here's to the simple life...

Sailing, Sailing ..over the ocean

We are getting the boat ready...

Preschool

Daddy is such an over protective dad -- he worries about my future -- that he went straight from the hospital to the JCC and enrolled me in Pre-School. I think I am at the top of the 2011 waiting list. Hopefully I will get in -- I hear it is really competitive. But I told Daddy that he needed to tell the admissions officers that I have a good disposition, that I will be able to speak two languages and that I will know a lot about the Beatles' music. Daddy plays me their music all the time. Daddy also showed the nice admission ladies all 150 pictures he has of me :  ) 

So now I need everyone's advice on how I can prepare for school.

GrandPa got me the Rolls Royce of baby carriages

GrandPa:

Thank you very much for my new Bug-a-boo carriage. I will be the coolest baby on the block! Watch out Laurel Village... here comes the S. S. Wilder

I love the big powerful and durable wheels. They will help me navigate the tough terrain in the Presidio and on Crissy Field. And I love all the emergency switches and brakes that will help dad and mom going down those big SF hills. I know Mommy is especially happy because she thinks about safety a lot. 

Thanks GrandPa. I can't wait for us to go for a walk together!!

Love, S. S. Wilder!
