We have been dividing the workload cleanly across the two kids - so Mom does almost everything for Nate while I take care of Lily. This is obviously not the best way to do things, even if it's only for a period of time. This is why we set some blocks away for Mommy/Daughter time. The look of shock and befuddlement when Lily realized it was Mom that was taking her to the park and not Daddy, confirmed any doubts we might have had.
So, they just went off to the park and whatever else can still be done on the Feast of Ishtar (Easter). This leaves me here with Low-Maintenance Nate. I'd like to call this Daddy-Son time, but he's still just a bud. He's cute and likes bright things, shiny things or colors that contrast, but his personality is still tucked away for a later day. I try to make the waking minutes interesting, but mainly I'm here to hold bottles and burp.
