Daddy Day Care Days

I have been back at work now for almost 3 months, working two days a week (Mondays and Tuesdays) and I am enjoying it a lot more than I did when I was full-time.  I am helping out in the Admin Department now and have happily left my old job as Travel Co-ordinator to Jen (who was filling in for my maternity leave).  Luckily Murray has a really good roster at his security job at Sanctuary Cove (4 days on then 4 days off) so the majority of the days I am at work, he has Jasper and it's "Daddy Day Care".   It's great that Murray is able to spend so much time with Jasper as I know that many Dads usually are lucky to spend one or two days a week at home with their kids.  They have bonded so well and I love watching them interact as Jasper just adores his "Daddy". 

Murray is the biggest kid I know so they obviously have a lot in common.  They both love playing on the swings - in fact I think Murray is secretly happy that he now has a good excuse to play on the swings.  They both love having a chat.  They both stick their tongues out all the time...and they are both very cheeky!

Murray usually takes Jasper out and about each day it's "Daddy Day Care", whether it be to a park, to run errands, or to a friends house and he always has a story at the end of each day about some funny "incident" that happened during the day.  Today's story involved an incident with poop and cat food!  Murray was changing Jasper's poopy nappy, and as Jasper is a squirmer he kicked his foot into the poopy nappy and then as Murray was trying to get some new wipes out of the box to clean it all up, Jasper kicked his foot into Murray's head and got poop all over his face!  Murray was quite horrified by his predicament but managed to clean it all up and then let Jasper crawl around on the floor for a minute while he got rid of the dirty nappy.  Unfortunately Murray didn't realise that there was a "breach of security" in the dining room at the time and the catfood bowl was still on the floor so upon his return he found Jasper happily crunching up a mouthful of catfood!  At least it was premium catfood and Jasper shouldn't have any kidney or urinary problems anytime soon!

Murray mentioned tonight that he might even start his own blog to record some of his funny Jasper stories, so watch out blog world, we may be hearing from him soon!

Aside from a few "breaches in security" Murray really takes great care of Jasper (and me).  He is really hands-on and cooks most of Jasper's (and my) meals, knows how to pack Jasper's baby bag for day trips, can get Jasper to sleep way faster than I can, and even shares the washing duties of the cloth nappies, so we are very fortunate.  We love you Husband/Daddy xox
