Nap Time

January 29, 2014 by Stuart

Now that two of my three are in school full day, I spend a lot of time with my third.  One ritual we’ve been enjoying together is nap time.  Sometimes he wants to be alone and just goes to his bed but sometimes he and I snuggle together and fall asleep together.  Maybe it’s because he’s my last baby and soon this phase of our lives will be over.  Maybe it’s because things are finally a little more relaxed around here – when my oldest was this age, I had three babies around full time and no two of them fell asleep at the same time.

Whatever the reason, I’m glad I’ve slowed down enough to enjoy these afternoon naps while it lasts.

Boy, Does HE Know How To Give A Compliment

January 22, 2014 by Stuart

My kids rave over their Mama.  They sing her praises most days when she’s at work.  As they’ve been getting older, they have also started to gain empathy and one day, my son realized that maybe I might feel left out when they were singing her praises.  After my daughter finished a rousing chorus of “Mom rocks !”, my middle boy says to me, very earnestly, “Daddy, you rock too.  Your farts stink, but you still rock.”

Thanks, I’ll take it!

Modeling Good Behavior

January 13, 2014 by Stuart

I try not to think of it as “falling asleep on the rug during the bedtime ritual.”  I much prefer to think of it it, “modeling good behavior for my kids.”
