Daddy Day Care 2 - 30 Jan 09

Its that time of year again. Sarah sets sail for the Spring Fair tonight leaving Ben and me on our own. It seems longer than a year ago since we last faced, endured and survived an extended period of Daddy Day Care, but then Ben has grown and developed so much over that year.

Daddy Day Care Survived! - 08 Feb 08

Sarah arrived back home this morning, officially marking the end of Daddy Day Care Week and I’m happy to declare it a success. Ben and I both made it through unharmed, well-fed and cleanly clothed. I managed to squeeze in two nappy washes over the week, so running out of clean ones was never likely to happen.

Daddy Day Care Update - 06 Feb 08

Well we’re still alive, so that’s good.

We’ve been having a great time, but as much as its fun, its also very tiring as there’s always something to be done. Some things are easier to do once Ben is asleep and some things you can’t do then because they might waken him (e.g. hoover, which by the way, Ben thinks is hilarious).

Daddy Day Care - 01 Feb 08

Tonight Sarah heads off to a trade fair, leaving Ben and me to fend for ourselves for a week. Its the first time that either one of us has been away, leaving the other one ‘holding the baby’ and I’ll admit to being slightly nervous about it. Its not like I’ve never looked after Ben on my own before, but there’s never been an ‘overnight’ involved before, nevermind 7 of them.
