Daddy on Duty January 15, 2016

Today, The big screams and cries of Blake woke me up early this morning.  I could hear him through the monitor in Ben's room.  Ben woke up shortly thereafter.   The good news for me and Kelly was that Blake slept all night.  That meant we slept all night long.  It was a beautiful thing.

I had to change Blake's diaper, and whoo-whee.  He gave me the biggest diaper I've ever seen on him.  It must have been his dinner and milk that he ate last night.  Whatever he ate, keep feeding it to him as he sleeps throughout the night.  The more Blake can sleep, the better sleep my wife and I get as parents.

I gave Blake three bottles of milk while Ben had Breakfast, snack of "fruit snacks", breakfast 2 (sort of, waiting impatiently for bak bak), and finally, lunch (bak bak came to him) and he ate his chicken nuggets up.

I waited until an hour after Ben woke up to change his diaper.  Patience is a virtue in getting that basic, yet important, task done.

Ben found his legos near the TV.  He found the plastic bag that contained them and poured them all out on the floor.  We started building some things with his duplos.  We didn't construct anything by the book.  We had some fun while watching reruns of "The Big Bang Theory."

I also caught up on all my cartoons and kid shows with my boys ("Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, "Sheriff Callie", and "Jake and the Neverland Pirates.")  I've got more TV to catch up on later.  I'll do that with my family this weekend.

On a more personal note, I'm turning 40.

I'm turning 40 on Saturday.  I'll get to celebrate that magical milestone with my wife and two sons.  They won't remember my BIG 4-0 like I will.  At least I'll get to see them when I celebrate my birthday.  I can't wait to include them in my celebration.

Mentally, I feel like I'm a big kid.  I feel that I'm on a level where I can play with my two kids in any game that they want to play.  When Ben and Blake get older, I want to be able to do the fun things that they do.  I'll even teach them how to play some video games.

I can't wait to get home and see the boys again.  It's always so hard to leave them behind when I drop them off at daycare.  I do my best (and succeed) in giving Ben and Blake hugs and kisses before I head to work here at CBS46.
