And off we went! We secured Graham on the golf cart and he was quite contented. But obviously, it didn't last very long. By the time we got to the driving range to warm up, he started to fuss. So while Daddy warmed up, I drove him around. Then, it was my turn to warm up and Daddy's turn to drive him around.
He started to fall asleep but when we got to the first tee, he started to cry! We decided to tee-off anyway (are we bad parents??!). By the way, it does take some concentration to hit while there's a crying baby in the background! But once we started to move to our next shot, Graham was quiet and went back to sleep.
It was nice being back on the golf course with Bobby again. It's been a while since we last played a round of golf together - I think our last round together was when I was at 38 weeks. It was great too that Graham could join us this time. As you can see, we didn't forget the diaper bag either! It's tucked between both golf bags and strapped on to one, so it doesn't fall out :-)Graham did start to cry again in the middle of the round. But we started to realize that as long as we kept the golf cart moving, he would be quiet. And so, by the end of the day, we were getting good at jumping out of the cart while it was still in motion and grabbing a club... yes, while the cart was in motion. Then, one person would hit their shot while the other drove Graham around! Unfortunately, we did have to leave him crying when we had to putt!
In the end, I think it worked out pretty well. Graham fed at the club in the ladies locker room and was quite happy. He did have a red nose and rosy cheeks. Not sure if that was from the sun or from all the crying he did!
Well, he did cry all the way home too! When we got home, I fed him again and he was out like a light! He slept for 12 hours... till about 9am the next day!
