Mommy was asked repeatedly by her old boss at the Northeast YMCA to come back to work. Finally she gave in and said that she would give them just 2 nights, three hours each night, of teaching swim classes. That meant that daddy would be on his own for dinner, bath and bed time routines. He's having a bit of a rough time, to say the least.
Hunter has never gone to bed for anyone but mommy for his entire life, so going to bed for daddy isn't really working. Mommy has come home to screaming from both hunter and daddy both nights so far. We are hoping that we can work it all out so that mommy can keep doing something that she really enjoys and needs (for her sanity) to be doing.
On a fun note, mommy and daddy taught little mason how to play "ring around the rosy". He loved it, especially the falling down part. He keep taking mommy's hand and trying to get her to go again. Then we learned how to play "hide and go seek", Mason kinda got the concept but still loved the surprise of finding mommy hiding. We will have to keep working on that one.
One other game that Mason loves is dress up. Mommy gave him a bowl out of the out of the cabinet for a makeshift hat. It wouldn't stay on so we tied a scarf around it to keep it on. Then we added one of daddy's shirts and his orange rain boots to finish the outfit. The bowl lasted for awhile and then the out fit ended up as a jester hat and the boots.
Mason's new thing is that he wants to sit in a booster next to his brother who is sitting in his chair. It is really cute to see him spending time with his brother. Mason is doing much better with being gentle.
