Mr Mom

By day 3 of Mr Mom, it would seem that things r under control. Nico can now feed himself and Ben can walk Nico.

First Day

Most of you are probably wondering how Carrie's first day on the job was. I am too. Until we know, I will try and entertain you with my first day as Mr Mom.

Carrie left for work at 8 @ which time I took the boys for a walk. Benny learned how to push the stroller (very cool) and Nico was silently awake. when we got back, we ate a snack and I attempted to put Nico down for a nap. Some of u know he is not sleeping well. Of course he was up 15 min later. We went for another walk to keep Benny calm until lunch. That worked. They both fell asleep for 15 minutes. We returned, ate lunch and Benny went down for the extendo nap and Nico went down for......u guessed it, 15min. By this time Nico is pretty much strung out like Chris Rock in New Jack City. My fathering skills are really being put to the test. Benny rises 2 hrs later (yes!!!) as the pleasant little chap u all know and love. I know it is getting close to bottle time for nico so we doubletime it to the park to use some of the recharge in bennys batteries. Nico pulls the trigger 15 min into our adventure so we go home. The morning hours I spent texting carrie pix of the bo
ys with cute messages about fun and walks. By 3pm I am calling her for advice. Its getting toward 4 and Benny goes thermo nuclear on me and that starts a chain reaction. My time outs sort of work while I get Nico down for 15 min!!!! Ugh. After 20 min of playdough, I figure we can go out in the back yard and play to stay occupied. Yessss! Nico is currently passed out in the bjorn and we have come inside so benny can color. I have not made dinner yet so I figure I have about 30 min before the next fireworks. Hurry home babe!!

Until the next Mr Mom chronicle!
