At home

Well, its been a crazy reajusting week! KC is home but he still has to work. He has duty every 3rd day and regular work days during the week. This schedule confuses Aidan. I don't think that he understands the concept of working for a living. I had to explain to him that daddy has to work so that we can live in our house and have food to eat and toys to play with. He has had me home with him continuously for the last 5 months so he doesn't get the concept of having to go to work. Then, once we have that in our brains and daddy is finally home for a bit and then Aidan develops a sudden jealous fit! He is jealous of the attention I show daddy when he is home. I have to convince him that I love him just as much as I love daddy and that will never change! He wants mommy to get him out of the carseat. He wants mommy to give him a bath. He wants mommy to take him potty. He only wants mommy to read bedtime stories. I thought that having KC back would give me a little break... HA! I try to tell Aidan that daddy wants to help too and that he missed doing these little things while he was gone. And I give lots of extra hugs and kisses to let him know that he still has mommy! Daddy is still just a fun playmate. However, things are changing a bit. Daddy had to put Aidan in time out the other day for jumping on the couch and not listening. Well, after time out, Aidan came to me and asked if I could put Daddy in time out for being naughty! Heee heee! I told him that Daddy did exactly what he was supposed to do and that he didn't break any rules. He didn't deserve to go into time out! Slowly but surely, things are starting to eak back towards normal. KC is starting leave soon and we will have a 2 weeks where we have him all to ourselves! Then he leaves for RI!
