Haiku – 3 Looks at Carry
Amusement park closed
Daddy carries his daughter
Passed out in his arms
+
A boat on the sea
Waves carry the brave sailor
Forward towards home
+
Through the fire and flames
One by one he carried them
No man left behind

I kept hearing these songs when I wrote this.

Haiku – Proud
Sleeping through the night
Son in his big boy bed
First time, all night long
+
My son has just moved over to his big boy bed. One day the crib, next his big boy bed. Growing so fast. I thought I would share this news, because I am so proud of him. I don’t know if you have seen this blog or not, but I have started talking about being not only a parent, but a stay at home dad. You can check out that blog here: daddystayhome.wordpress.com
How did you parents reading this handle your child’s sleep transition? Just curious.

Haiku – Breakfast Time
Outside with my son
Good Apple Cinnamon Chex
Making him smile big
+
I love this time of year. You can sit outside, and just enjoy Mother Nature. My son and I love to sit out on the deck. A fun time for us, and easy clean up for me once breakfast is over – bonus.
So, favorite brand of Chex? I’m partially to Corn, Chocolate, or Cinnamon.

Haiku – To Sleep, Perchance to Purr
Your purring rhythm
Putting me to gentle sleep
After a long day
I wrote this last night – tired and ready for bed. It is tough being a stay at home dad, taking care of my son, trying to write, keep up the house, stay in shape, blog, etc. I even have, not one, but two, grandmothers close by who help me out a few times a week and I still get worn out. Staying home is one of the toughest jobs I have ever had, but you know what, I love it. This is the best job in the world – even on the toughest of days. My hats off to anyone who has done this job or who is currently doing this job. So rewarding.
By the way, more of a cat man than a dog man. Just me. They put me at ease. How about you? Cat or dog person. Just leave me your answer and a why attached to it.
