Extra Attention

It's a little strange to have another adult around during the daycare work day. Kevin enjoys the kids though and the kids like having a new audience.

I'm really grateful for the on-loan recliner. Kevin can retreat to his office for a nap whenever he wants without worrying about being in the way of the kids schedule.

My bigger problem is MAKING him retreat to his office for some rest. He likes to be in the midst of the kids and they love having him around. Ella has already staked out a place next to him on the couch and she guards it zealously.

Hannah and Andrea are thrilled to find him here in the morning and ecstatic when he's still here after school. They do their best helper routines by taking a snack to him and offering to read him stories. They've made it clear that they think I'm not taking care of him quite as well as they do.

I don't think he minds the extra attention.
