Home Alone: Welcome to the Big Leagues

Our lives are filled with memorable firsts. The first time we rode our bikes without training wheels. First kiss. First job. Etc. Today, I add another first to my list: my first full day alone with my daughter, aka, Turtle Biscuit.

After three months of parenting with the training wheels, my wife returned to her office today and it was me and let Turtle Biscuit and I to fend for ourselves.

What does any responsible father do after kissing his wife goodbye and darting off to tend to his daughter? Well of course, he texts a few friends and lets them know the new game plan. To which, one replies, “welcome to the big leagues.”
