the last supper

This is the last day with a husband. As usual, by the time he gets ready to leave I have forgotten what I ever did without him. It is nice though- that the time doesn’t fly by. I feel like we really are able to appreciate him when he is here.

Cael’s baby is becoming very useful. I can use her as a proxy for talking about things with Cael. If he is inconsolable about something I can say, “Cael is your baby sad too? Can you give her a hug to make her feel better? Does she feel better now, Cael?” Taking the attention off his problem and onto helping his baby brings him down from his tantrum like a charm! If he doesn’t want to go eat; “Cael, I think your baby is hungry. Let’s go feed her!” And so on… I am sure I could have found this out eons ago in a baby book, but who reads? No one in this house!

Happy Birthday Dad!
