Thanks for that!

The Boss Lady wants to thank RM for introducing AtHomeDaddy to blogging. She also extends a personal invitation to RM to come help with unfinished laundry anytime AtHomeDaddy gets a little too obsessive with his blog.

The Rest of the Story

After lunch, naps and another bottle or two, we headed out for walk and a little playtime with the neighborhood kids. Today's mission, cleaning the house and doing laundry --- a complete and dismal failure. No cleaning because I usually do that while trying to keep The Princess moving during The Talker's naptime. You should stop by and watch me vacuum while wearing The Princess in a sling. Quite a show! Maybe I will get to a little laundry tomorrow.

So now The Princess is napping in the Royal Swing, The Boss Lady is picking up toys and The Talker is watching "Homer". Nothing wrong with a 2 year old that watches the Simpson's, is there? Life is good!

Today's schedule, It's rigorous..

This am, The Talker, who is our 2 year old boy, and The Princess, our 2 month old girl, were both up early. I won't discuss how early, because it turns out that Mommy (The Boss Lady) and AtHomeDaddy have differing opinions on the word "early".

After breakfast and a bottle, and several early diaper changes, The Talker and I played in the backyard for a while and I weeded the veggie garden while he helped water the tomatoes and herbs. We ran downtown for The Boss Lady and stopped at my old recreation center to see the kids and staff.

After playing in the park we headed to the house for lunches and Tom and Jerry. Naptime followed quickly. At this moment the stars must be in an odd alignment, because The Talker and The Princess are both napping at the same time.

So there... A look into a SAHD's morning. Future post will likely not be so detailed, because The Princess has yet to agree with her Mommy that "Naptime Rules!" Or was it AtHomeDaddy that likes Naptime? Some days it is hard to remember who is who around here.

Welcome to AtHomeDaddy!

Several friends have suggested that I get a blog started because they can't figure out what a stay-at-home-dad (SAHD) does all day long. I suspect that they are really just tired of my long and rambling emails.

So, if you find yourself wondering "Does AtHomeDaddy do anything exciting with all of his free time?" then follow along... Maybe we will both be able to answer that question soon.
