There are rare occasions when I count down the hours until 830pm. Actually it was only one occasion- yesterday - when the worst teething speed happened and made a super cranky baby upset and her sister who doesn't nap, a little cranky too.
There's a reason why there's only been one occasion where I have looked forward to bedtime.
It's this guy.
The girls call him daddy. I call him my best friend & husband.
Things run pretty smoothly when he's here.
I never have to wash bottles.
I never have to make bottles.
* Now that we only have to make 12 bottles for the whole day-we can make them all at bedtime. They are good for 24 hours and it works so much easier that way. So, while I do my evening pump- he slaves at the sink!
I never have to take out the trash.
* This isn't always true. I often pull out another trash bag if the trash seems to be overflowing. If I absolutely HAVE to, ill remove the trash bag and replace it and put it out on the back porch. Only when things are looking bleak. I never walk it to the curb.
I never have to put pellets in the pellet stove.
* Granted, the bags weighs 50lbs and I probably make more of a mess than help. Still- I never have to do it.
I rarely clean the litter box or do laundry.
* both of these chores were a big no no when I was pregnant. The cat litter was exclusively a no. And my big ol belly wouldn't let me reach to the bottom of the washer. We are never even close to being caught up on laundry. Nonetheless, I basically only have to do the girls laundry. Which face it- is the main priority around here. As long as I have underwear and sweats of any kind. I don't need anything else! ;)
He is an amazing daddy.
* seriously. If I get frustrated- he takes whichever baby ( usually E) and puts her to sleep or listens to her scream for a minute. He loves them. They love him. The way get light up when they see him- makes me melt. He makes them laugh, plays with them, changes them, still hasn't got the bow thing down, but that will come.
I picked an amazing man to marry and be my best friend and he turned out to be one awesome daddy to these two miracles.
