Daddy Day-Care

I just got the message the other day that Jackie had transferred the blogging duties to me. Something about her going back to work and me being home with the kids all day. In any case we are long overdue for a blog post. I thought the best subject would to share a typical day in the life of Ben Jarboe, father!
In essence my day revolves around three things, 1) Feeding the kids; 2) Putting the kids down for a nap; 3) Somehow filling the time between feedings and naps. #3 is by far the most difficult of all three. It usually involves me washing bottles, entertaining the kids, entertaining the kids, and oh, did I mention, entertaining the kids! As we have more than 1 child this feat it exceedingly difficult. Not to offend my friends with only one child but how freakin' easy is entertaining one kid?!?! Here are some of the ways that we spend our summer days.

Our favorite activity is time on the play mat. The kids love it and it's easy for me!


Now that Olivia has learned how to move this activity usually results in Olivia positioning herself in some manner that Alex finds less than desirable.

They also like spending time in their Bumbo seats. This has resulted in some of the better pictures we have of Alex and Olivia (notice the drool from Alex's mouth).



Finally we like to engage in tummy time. Well, Olivia likes tummy time. Alex hates tummy time with a passion so we have no pictures of Alex doing tummy time!



Until next time...
