Daddy poses with his boys at the end of dinner.
Today was Nathan’s last week day home with us. On Monday, he will return to work. I fully realize how blessed we are that he could stay home for four weeks after Simon’s birth. When Nathan first mentioned the idea, I thought that it sounded crazy long. But I knew I would love having him home, and since most of it was using up sick time (and therefore paid), I thought it was a good idea. It turns out that it went way too fast, and that it was needed time…especially for Elias. He already had a good relationship with his Daddy, but I think Elias has really bonded with Nathan even more now. There is so much time during the day that I have to be feeding or taking care of Simon, and it was so nice for Elias to have someone there who loves him as much as I do while he was adjusting to being a big brother. Daddy will be missed by Elias for sure (and I’ll miss the help and the adult company for sure!)
