I think Sam is under the impression that I'm unable to properly take care of a child on my own. I wouldn't mind that so much if the child in question wasn't my own daughter. My schedule is tough, a lot of the time I don't have any choice but to let Sam play Super!Dad. He loves it, and I have the peace of mind of knowing that Julia is with her favorite person in the entire world. Sometimes, I really wish things were the other way around, so that I would get to be the one who spend mass quanities of time with her, but this just happens to be the way that things are. I'll get to spend a lot of time with her while Sam is away. If there's one even remotely good thing about his trip, it's the time I'll get to spend with Julia.
And where the hell is Sam going? One minute he wants to go back to bed, the next he's off to God knows where.
I showered, got dressed, and had breakfast all before I heard Julia wake up and call for 'Da da'. She was standing up in her crib, practically bouncing when I went in to get her, and contrary to what some people might believe, she was not disappointed to see me. After a diaper change and a playfully messy breakfast, I got her cleaned up and let her watch her favorite shows.
I have no idea why little kids love those damn puppet things so much. I think they'd give me nightmares, especially at that age.
"Da da?"
I picked her up and sighed a little, wondering if this was a preview of the next couple of days. Somehow, I have a feeling that the rest of the week is going to involve a lot more screaming from my favorite little person.
"It's just you and me for a little while Jules, you want book?"
'Book' is her way of saying that she wants to be read to. I have plenty of time to read to Julia now; me with my skipping work and not calling out. I'm probably dead for that. Or fired, and then I'll have even more time to spend with my daughter.
"Book! Book! Book! Book!"
"I'll take that as a yes." Smiling, I picked up Julia and carried her back into her room. It took me a minute to find the book I was looking for, but once we were both settled in the big comfy chair and I had Snow White ready to go, Julia seemed content.
Take that Sam.
