Daddy Day Care
Friday, 31. August 2012
Laef has finally returned from an 8 day trip to China. Yes, it was wonderful to have the TV all to myself. It was also nice to go out for drinks on a Thursday and not have Laef sitting across the table from me doing the math as to exactly how much each Appletini costs when you factor in the babysitter wage. Is Laef the only person who thinks that if Harper is sleeping, the hourly rate for babysitting should drop down to $1.50? (Sidenote to Liz: I’m in your corner. I got yo’ back).
But, we missed him. I not only realized this when I was taking out the trash, cleaning the litter box and doing the dishes, but when I was taking a shower. Or should I say, when I wasn’t taking a shower. The absolute best part of him returning was taking a shower for longer than 2 minutes.
He arrived home on Wednesday night, and because our day care provider happens to be on vacation this week, Laef had the opportunity to reconnect with Harper by staying home with her on Thursday and Friday.
The questions I always ask when daddy is in charge are:
1. What is she wearing?
2. What is she eating?
I got a text on Thursday morning from the park with the following photo:
Shorts, shirt, watch, no shoes: PASS
This probably means that she ate a Popsicle for lunch, but there’s no photo evidence so there’s no need to worry.
I arrived home on Thursday evening, however, and it was a much different story. This is what I saw:
No shirt, No pants, no shoes, pink backpack (???): FAIL.
I guess the fact that she was in the comfort of her own home, and it was a scorching day in LA should make it OK. There is nothing like seeing your daughter looking like the next lead character in a Jon Krakauer novel.
After surviving day 1 with a toddler and jet lag, Laef and Harper embarked on Friday. They decided to make a trip to UCLA.
Wearing this:
Cute skirt, shirt, SHOES THAT ARE TOO BIG SO THEY ARE MacGYVERED WITH ATHLETIC TAPE???: OK, fine. Pass. Barely.
God, I love these two. SO. MUCH.

The diaper pictures (aka. white trash baby) are the best. They’re great for year books spreads and wedding slide shows.

“MacGYVERED WITH ATHLETIC TAPE” might be my favorite thing ever. Double points to Laef for this one.
