That Did Not Just Happen

So I've had a unseasonably rough few days at work, so my work from home day today could not have come at a better time. I got a ton of work done and took breaks to feed Jackson, but other than that I cranked and cranked on stuff.

Jackson ate his dinner at about 6 p.m., so we had our bottle and then a combo of sweet peas and sweet potatoes. I'm working on some data analysis so while he played on the floor I whipped out my laptop and sat with him while he played. I also put the laptop to the side and super played with him and then he got bored with me so I put him on his tummy about 6 inches to my right as I sat and did some work.

So after about two minutes...not even two minutes... I was like, "Wow Jackson is really kicking the heck out of my leg," so I set my laptop on the table next to me and looked down to engage in some frolic with him some more. He was on his back.

"Wait a minute? Did I put him on his tummy or his back right there just now? Did he get upset and I rolled him over but have now totally forgotten doing it? Did he just roll over completely in my peripheral vision and I totally missed it? No, no...I must have put him on his back. Because that has to be what happened. Because if I just missed my son rolling over for the first time because I was doing work at 7:30 at night on a Wednesday then I'll never forgive myself."

The correct answer would be the last one. I'm 99% sure of it. I called my mom, starting telling her the story and she finished the end of it before I could even get it out. I have been waiting for him to roll over from his tummy to his back for I don't know how long. I was hoping desperately that he would do it while I was there and each day when I drop him off at daycare I remind them not to tell me when he rolls over because I want the first time to be when I see it as far as I know. Turns out he did do it when I was there, but I was staring at freaking spreadsheets SIX INCHES AWAY FROM HIM when he did it. I think I'm going to cry.

In any case, I will send a shoutout to Courtney and Kevin Joyce and their little girl Delaney and congratulate them on the birth of their son Garrett...well done CJ! Make sure you're not on your laptop when he freaking rolls over for the first time. She has a blog, which I didn't know, and I like it. It can be found at: http://momsoup.blogspot.com/
