Mr. Mom

Anthony got to play "Mr. Mom" this week. While Anthony has helped take care of Tanner before, it was more like for a few hours here and there while I went to run errands...but never for an entire day. I had to work this week - and Anthony had the entire week off - so it only made sense for him to watch Tanner.

At first Anthony was worried he wouldn't know what to do with Tanner for an entire day and that he'd get bored being at home. So when I came home, I wasn't sure what I would see. But to everyone's amazement, I walked in and Tanner was lauging and giggling when Anthony was making these silly faces and sounds. He said they had a good time together and he really enjoyed it...but not enough that he wants to quit dental school and be a stay-at-home dad. Thanksgoodness!

But Anthony still hadn't showered by the time I came home... He said he figured there was no point if he's not going out anywhere - which is funny cause I've said the same thing before, but that was when Tanner was first born when I was still overwhelmed and sleep devrived. Anthony, on the other hand, didn't have a very good excuse cause Tanner pretty much slept over 4 hours - which is like a world record for him!

The best part about having Anthony at home - I can sleep in. All this week Tanner has been wide awake at 6:00 in the morning. So after I try everything to get him back to sleep, Anthony will take him and entertain him while I catch another hour or two of sleep. It's been so so nice. And as another added perk, he even had time leftover to do laundry and dishes. I could get use to this!
