Daddy Day Care

Daddy is in Charge wahooo!. 

Well Sheryl is away on business for the rest of the week, and when Mommy is gone…let’s just say that things get a little messier. I honestly don’t know how Sheryl does it. I mean not to brag, but I think I am a great Dad. I think Sheryl would agree, I do a great job of taking care of Ainsley and doing the things that need to be done like a bath, playing, feeding her and all that. The only problem is the shrapnel that is left over.

Let me explain: No matter who goes out of town, I don’t think there is any difference in the care the Ains gets. She east well, dresses well, no major bumps or scrapes and she even has a great time. The difference is that when I go out of town and Sheryl is in charge…not only is all of the above done, but somehow the laundry is done and the house cleaner when I get back. When she gets back…let’s just say that things are a little messier. Not that I can’t do that…it’s just when you though Ains into the mix I have to prioritize. The funny thing is, I always make fun of Sheryl’s inability to multi task (if she is doing something else and you ask her a question; you’d better have some time to kill before you get your answer). But obviously, her multi tasking skills are much better than mine.

Anyway, Ains and I had a good time. She ate fish sticks and we went for a wagon ride (we had to run back to avoid the rain). Then (as you can see in the picture) Ains did a little coloring before Bath time and Bed time.

That’s another thing that Sheryl does better…getting Ains to go to sleep. With Sheryl Ains reads a few books than ACTUALLY WANTS TO GO TO BED. I don’t know what I do different, but with me it’s always one more book then lets do the little piggies (she loves the “Weee Weee Weee all the way home,” part), then let’s point to our noses and on and on. Things have gotten even worse now the Ains is switching to a Big Bed…but I’m sure that will be a story for another time.
