Well, another day has come to a close here at the Super Mega Dad household and another day working from home with both little people home all day has ended.
Total mess count for the day? Actually, not too bad. We can see the floor, so that’s always a positive sign. Looking around the living room, I see a couple of piles of Mega Blocks, an empty cardboard shoe box (or stuffed animal bed, as the kids like to think of it as), an undressed dolly, dolly’s highchair, dolly’s bottles, a stuffed hamster, a couple assorted catalogs, Kailynn’s diaper bag, and a few other odds and ends here and there.
Both kids are all tucked in to bed, that means parents can watch shows that don’t have Big Bird or the Backyardigans in them. Maybe even get a little Xbox 360 in depending on who gets to it first. Me? Big people games. My wife? Puzzle games. Maybe it’s getting close to having to get another Xbox so we can both play.
Tonight, 5 year old Michael decided to give baby sissy her nite-nite bottle. She’s getting to the point where she’s almost as big as him, so it’s pretty comical watching him hold her. I think at this point, she eats more than he does so her weight is slowly approaching his still constant 35 pounds. We keep warning him to eat more, because sissy will sit on him and squish him as soon as she’s bigger than him, but so far no tactic seems to work to get him to eat more.
