OMG!! What a day we had yesterday. Working Mum is putting in a couple of 18-hour days, so it's just Jarvis and House Dad. This is never a problem with Working Mum putting in the hours, that's why I became a House Dad in the first place, to support her in her career. The only problem is that we've hit another teething stage - complete with stomache upset and nappy rash. The poor guy needed a nappy change every 30-minutes and has become red raw around his tender parts. Added to this, he's not sleeping well either, both boys are really frazzled.
Because of this, this is likely to be the only update for a couple of days, as I am giving 100% to Jarvis, to get him through. I got a bit down myself yesterday, as from 5am to 10.30am I had no 'me time' I came close to tears from tiredness and seeing him so distressed, however I reminded myself that it won't be forever and there are so many other things that could be worse. He's now asleep, so it's a quick cup of tea and then onto the mound of housework. Oh, the picture below is one Jarvis took oh himself yesterday.
House Dad.

Hi House-Dad!
I totally stuffed up my first comment so have had to re-write!
: P
Days like these are really trying, aren't they, and you wonder why you're at home and want to be elsewhere during those bad moments. Hang in there! I guess, when you add it all up, the best days way out-number the bad ones : ) Ditto on the rash and the poos. My eldest used to have nappy cream on all the time (Mustela is the BEST!), but thank goodness he's toilet training at the moment!!
