My boobs were my tools of the trade for almost 20 months.

Once my youngest daughter weaned herself from the Magical Boob Juice, the fun really began!

(And by fun we all know I mean chaos!)

Pull up a chair, sit a while, read a few pages.

Keep and open mind and a joyful heart and you too can get pumped into the world of The Milk Maid.

The Amazing Velcro Toddler

Jef has learned, in a rather tongue and cheek style, that Ava is a needy little thang.

Jef has come to understand why I would shove Ava at him at the end of a long day and run and hide by myself for a good 15 minutes before reemerging into the "real" world of Doradoradora and bitebite and UUUrrrghhHHppphhagHHhh!

Jef understands how hard it is to go potty by himself. He's learned how to "cut it off" in the middle of doin the ol bidnez at Ava's command, just to end up being shown a toy or have an endless stream of jabber tossed in his direction.

The realization of not being able to get anything done, which admittedly Jef already knew about, was ingrained deeper into his soul as he tried to doo laundry and clean the kitchen and all the other "simple" chores that need to be done.

Jef has learned how hard it is to be a mom. How hard it is to hold it all together and keep everything running and juggle the responsibility.

And by golly, he's loving every single minute!

--The Milk Maid says her job security is looking shaky and she might start shilling for this acne treatment stuff at any moment.

QUICK, start feeding her lots of corn for "corn poop" diapers!!! We must keep his mind off of being a stay at home dad.

Ha! Sounds like she has him wound pretty well around her little finger. Sure he's lovin' it for a week or 2, a month at the most, but that will come to an end soon, no worries your job is secure, plus you're the one with the uterus and boobs, so you have the awesome responsibility of birthing and breastfeeding any more that may come along.

You could direct him to looky daddys blog so he could see how horrible it is being a stay at home dad. However, enjoy it while it lasts.

I'm so ready to have Daver try it for a week. I'm dying to see if he can do things as well as he thinks he can.
