Days with Dad



My current work schedule has me working every other weekend, which means every other Saturday and Sunday Silas hangs one-on-one with Josh. They relax from the normal routine and sleep in (which more consists of Josh trying to get a bit more sleep by having Silas run around our bedroom fetching his hats or socks or playing with the phone), visit friends (Josh says it's a great technique to avoid having to entertain Silas himself) and get dirty playing in the garage or inside Josh's truck. They have a great time bonding together.

Josh is the first to admit the weekends can sometimes get chaotic. When I called home Saturday he answered, "Uhh, how do you do this?! Breakfast is all over the floor, there's clothes and toys everywhere, neither of us are fully dressed, it's pretty much time for lunch and I am quite sure Silas has a poopy diaper."

The day ended perfectly too: I arrived home from work to find Josh exhausted on the couch (clothes and toys everywhere) and to hear Silas fussing in his room though he should have been napping. I peeked in on Silas and found him standing up naked in his crib with the diaper he had pulled off laying in the middle of the room. Just as Josh arrived to survey this newest chaos, Silas promptly peed all over his mattress. Nothing to do but laugh!
