Soaking up the warm bright rays

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

Happy Father’s Day!

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord. Source: Ephesians 6:4

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.
