Mr. Mom Day 1

They are all asleep, and no one, even me suffered any severe injuries. Can you believe it?

We started the day by going to breakfast at the local waffle house, and surprisingly, it all went pretty smooth. Some guy came over and told me I am his hero! He and his wife are due in March and he recently took care of his nephews and did not last 3 hours. Funny, he did not see the blow up Olivia and I had trying to get out of the house =).

We got back to the house after breakfast an everyone played independently, which made things go very well. Lunch was served promptly at 11:30 and it was off to nappy time.....or so I thought.

Nappy time went like this.... Olivia plying in her bed. No big deal she usually does then falls asleep. But then, just after getting Gracie to sleep I hear.. "Daddy, Phia is out of her bed and running around!" hmmm, you know what that means. Sophia was crib climbing again. I ran up to find her in the loft trying to turn on the Telly Tubbies video. I put her back in her crib and she played for 2 hours. On top of that Olivia never went to sleep either. So.....

I packed them all up in the car around 3 and went to Target. Shopped a little, got some funny looks (a Dad with an infant in a Bjorn and two toddlers in a stroller and no supervision will get you a lot of stares). We headed over to Borders Books so I could get a CD and yes, more looks. On the ride home we called in a pizza to my pizza guy Rahim, (yes Rahim is my pizza guy! It's California, give me a break). We jammed to my new Bunnymen CD on the ride over and Rahim brought the pizza out to the car. This always makes Olivia ask 100 questions about why someone would give me a pizza while I am driving.

The rest of the night went smooth and they all went down a little early due to the non-napping that went on this afternoon. So, not so bad for day one. Let's see what tomorrow holds. I even had a chance tonight to finish a second video book. Check it out on Princess TV.
