Daddy Daycare

Daddy Daycare opens tomorrow. Our normal daycare provider is going to China for three weeks. Honestly, it's fair. She almost never takes any time off. None of this teacher training thing and other crap that make most parents scramble five times a year. She's been pretty cool that way. So she's getting a well earned break. The downside is that I'm using bonding leave time to spend a couple weeks at home with the kids.

When the first one was tiny, I spent a month at home. I thought that I was getting a sabatical. I'd be able to write or do other stuff. None of that happened. It was just hanging out with the kid in my arms for a month. So this time I have no delusions of doing anything other than servicing two little monsters. It'd be nice to think that they will one day appreciate it.
