My husband...
-Makes me oatmeal every day--the real kind adding raisins, cinnamon and maple syrup, not instant stuff
-Says "have a good day" every day
-Makes my lunch on my workdays
-Brings Greg into me when there are nightly feedings
-Is the nighttime consoler for Greg
-Feeds our animals
-Fills my water bottle and puts my lunch, breast pump, yoga mat and yoga bag into my truck on work days
-Makes sure Greg's cloth diapers get laundered every other day
-Puts wood in our boiler 2-3 times daily
-Monitors and launders our yoga wear so we have clean stuff all week
-Reminds me to drink water all day long to help milk production
-Gets the mail every day
-Sometimes, he even puts on my shoes when I am feeding Greg in the morning before work :)
So, you're probably wondering what I do? I would say, everything else! Lol :) No, we really do a mix of chores and complement each other well with what we do. I just felt like lifting up what he does today!
And more...topics of our interest or that have come up recently that I feel like writing about.
-We do not do baby monitors.
-We are doing "Baby Led Weaning" with solid foods--no need to purée!
-We believe using natural instinct is best versus the terms "crying it out "or "attachment parenting" which are known as more of the extremes.
-Elimination communication is so beneficial for babies and parents alike. We are still catching 4-10 potties on the potty chair daily. Grandma Carol even catches some!
-Greg is still swaddled at night and naptime, because he loves it. He also sleeps with multiple blankets rolled up on both sides of him--because it works!
-Rudy, our greyhound, continues to be an extremist when it comes to babysitting Greg. He howls whenever Greg bawls. This is not fun!!
-Cloth diapers really are fantastic for the environment, and we recommend Best Bottoms brand!
Happy Holy Week! Remember Jesus on Easter ;) it's not just about the bunny and egg hunts!
Peace,
P
Lilies are coming up!
Folding clothes and eating dryer balls!
