I have been asked so many times how it is possible for me and Joel to both work full time and have 2 kiddos at home all day to take care of. The truth is... If our kids weren't amazing, it would be impossible. We have our days where they make it nearly impossible to work (of COURSE, they are human)- but more often than not, they will sit and play and will accept little bouts of mommy and daddy attention as sufficient. Vander will often come sit on my lap for hours with YouTube playing on half my work screen watching farm videos while he sits quietly and I get my work done.
We feel blessed to have the opportunity for me and Joel to spend all day together and the extra bonus of spending all day with our kids as well. Its not always easy- but the kids make it the easiest they possibly could on us! Joel and I also make quite a good team which helps immensley :)
Van wanted me to take pictures of him while he was sitting on my lap watching e-i-e-i-o- Note the pen on his face.. obviously he had been into my office supplies.. Yes- I am in a bathing suit top- taking my progress pictures tracking my cross fit results ;)
Perfectly content watching me work and playing with my calculator
He could stay busy ALL DAY playing with his animals and his farm
Another lifesaver- the exersaucer- Baby heaven
Work intermission- play time with lil sis
