Adults Only

I met up with some of my old colleagues today for an award ceremony to honour the best and the brightest at my workplace. Here’s the venue where the prize ceremony was held:

I was nominated for a prize for some work I did last year but the main reason I wanted to go was to have some non-baby-related conversation with other adults. In that I was only partially successful. While I received a warm welcome from many of my colleagues, the main topic of conversation was “what’s it like being a stay-at-home-dad?” That’s ok as, truth be told, I really enjoy talking about Margot and all the fun things I do with her.

Going to the award ceremony also gave me a chance to put on one of my snazzy suits. I must say, it’s really surreal to go from jeans and a white t-shirt (the stay-at-home-dad’s uniform of choice) to a suit and tie, and then back again, all in one day. It’s a stark reminder of just how much my life has changed in the last 60 days. What an adventure!

Oh yeah, in case you were wondering – I didn’t win the prize!
