Back in the Saddle

This past Monday was the day I've been dreading since September...going back to work. The week actually hasn't been as bad as I anticipated, surely because I know Squishie is home with her dad. We are SO lucky to have Matt taking paternity leave this month, and I'll be working a flex schedule for the rest of the concert season which allows me to work from home Wednesdays and Fridays. We'll see how that goes. In the meantime my hubby has been embracing his role as Mr. Mom with great gusto. On Monday I came home to a spotless house and dinner cooking. Tuesday morning he got up and started my car for me, and when I came home there was a beautiful roast was bubbling away in the oven. Hey, maybe this isn't so bad after all.

I do, however, have to question his methods of bonding with the baby while mom's away:

Taking upside-down pictures with a diaper on her head. His version of art?


Attempting to launch herself over the Boppy


Eating bugs - always a favorite


Learning to razz (and going through about a dozen bibs a day)

I would expect those two to get in a little bit of trouble - after all, what are dads for?

is there a reason Maio doesn't do any of the blogging? is he scared of the clickity of the keyboard?
