September 22, 2000 - Friday
We started a new schedule a couple of days ago that seems to be working out well. Harry eats breakfast in the car during our morning commute. A bowl of cereal and milk doesn't work so well in a moving car, but Harry's dry cheerios, jar of baby oatmeal and fruit, or a special cereal bar for babies seem to do just fine. Best of all, rather than my feeding Harry after dropping his mother off - and essentially strapping him in another chair after spending an hour in the car - this way, we have an hour to go to the park, a store that's open early, or just have fun around the lab for a little while before he goes to daycare.

The four hours I used to spend with Harry in the mornings were very nice, though admittedly a little long when I had other pressing matters to attend to. Forty-five minutes to an hour may be a little shorter than ideal, but it is a nice amount of time with Harry and not so long that I can't rationalize the lost time from work.
