Daddy Time

Well a definite perk of the fact I am still working part-time (aside from the paycheck and health insurance, LOL) would be that Nadia gets more time with her Daddy. There are just twelve more days when I'll be teaching at 8am this semester as including this week there are 5 weeks left, but one of those is a short week due to Thanksgiving. I am not going to miss making sure I'm in the car by 6:40am, but I am sad that Nadia won't get that time with Daddy MWF morning. I'm gone for 3 hours those mornings, and he plays with her for usually about 2 hours of that time. He reads books to her, plays with her in her gym (tummy time and such), plays the piano with her (and he doesn't know how to really play himself, LOL), and of course has math time with her every day. She focuses on him so intently while he teaches her how to count. I had to get a picture of that so I won't forget how Daddy was working on her math skills when she was even only 3-4 months old. Paul loves Nadia soo much. She is a lucky girl to have such a wonderful father!!! She'll still get time with Daddy in the spring, but I'll only be teaching two days a week instead of four (which will help cut down our gas bill).

Last night was better as Nadia slept 6 hours the first stretch and then 2 hours each the next two so at least we were down to two feedings, and since each was only about 20-25 minutes long that also helped. She slept ten hours total which was good (7:15pm -6:00am with about 45 minutes of being up for feedings/diaper changing). It was a good step in the right direction, and I hope tonight the trend continues!

The pictures of her watching Paul are priceless. He definitely has her attention (and she has him wrapped around her little finger, I'm sure!)

Like you, I was shocked at how low gas prices were. I paid $2.19 on Friday.
