Mr. Mom

Since Robin is taking family leave and I'm still working full time, people are always asking not only how the kids are doing but how Robin is doing. Well, he's doing great. Really. I am so impressed!!!! He was determined to stay home full time once the kids arrived and just enjoy the experience. And what an experience. He takes the kids to their medical appointments, to the market, to the playground, to school for an evaluation, to playgroups. He gets up with Gaelle in the middle of the night and teaches Peter how to count money and do his math. He translates for the kids for the rest of us... because moms always know what the kids are saying.



He keeps the house clean. He almost borders on obsseive. It's great!!!



And he introduces the kids to all these new experiences but he does it in just the right way. Always making sure both kids feel safe and secure.



He makes sure both kids have a chance to run off their energy in so many fun ways. Thanks hon. I'm so proud of you. Keep it up.

Dean is playing Mr. Mom right now too, as I recover from my surgery! God has truly blessed us with wonderful husbands! We couldn't do it without them!

LOVE reading your posts and seeing all the great pics you are sharing with us!!

I'm jealous (or tempted to be jealous) about your indoor pool! Wish we had something like that in our area!
