You Got Bubbles?

Babygirl and Babydaddy shared a public family restroom at Target today. Babygirl did her business, and so did Babydaddy.

As Babygirl was looking at end result of the process, she asked "Daddy you got bubbles in your tinkle?" Babydaddy replied, "yup." She quickly responds, "that's so silly."

How does a dad a dad respond to that? It was a funny moment.

Babygirl as previously mentioned, likes to describe her poops.  Today Babygirl said that her poop was a "caterpillar with one arm."  Sometimes she likes to even tells Babymama and Babydaddy after she's done taking care of business, "I think my poop is moving.  See! it's moving."  Not sure if she thinks this is funny to her parents, or scares them, or simply thinks that each poop is alive.

Babygirl also likes to compliments toilets that flush by themselves, "good job, it flushed all by itself."

Can't even imagine what her bro, Babyboy is going to be like potty training and what not.

How is everyone else spending their Labor Day Weekend?

18 Months Long!

Babydaddy, has had very short stints with Babygirl, or Babyboy, or both at the same time.  It has either been for a couple of hours-maybe even a full 8 hrs, a series of days for a couple of hours, and a wknd here or there.

Babydaddy can not fathom what a 18month long paternity leave would be like.  As the author talked about the cultural changes in Sweeden as other dad's take long leaves to take care of their children, he also questions the social constructions of dudehood or masculinity.  Babydaddy can only assume that if he was the lone dad with the long paternity leave he would begin to feel self conscious around other men.  At the same time, babydaddy knows it would be one of the best usage of time to be with his own children, as well one of the most tiring of times.

As Babymama likes to point out, even though Babydaddy may be working a lot, the work in the office is so different than the physical nature, the emotional rollercoaster of full time parenting work at home.

Babydaddy salutes all the mom's who do so much each and everyday with very little acknowledgment of all the daily battles they won.
