It starts off with a little snooze while Mom makes dinner. The snooze takes place on Daddy's knees. Then he wakes up and spends alittle quality time with Daddy. Soon after waking up he decides he is hungry..REALLY hungry. So mom feeds him while feeding herself at the dinner table. This is quite the balancing act. Then it is off to get a bath.

Baths for Archer aren't a nightly occurance like they are for Christian. Christian runs around a dusty playground several hours a day. Baths for Archer generally occur while Christian is also getting a bath. This is Wenck tag team parenting at it's best.
Archer does great in the bath. He really likes the warm water. I don't remember Christian ever liking his bath until he was 6 months old. Even now it can be a fight.
Sometimes he gets a little too chilly and lets me know about it.

Then it is off to his room and changing table. He is so calm when he lays on his changing table. Chris says sometimes he doesn't want to take him off because he seems so happy there.
Then we have a little chat after he is in his PJ's, while on his changing table. He tells me about his day. I don't interupt him even though I know everything he did that day because I was there with him. I just let him ramble on. Sometimes I see hints of a true smile. It is coming...

Then sometimes we go in and all sit on Christian's bed and read books. But tonight Christian chose to watch Go, Diego, go until bedtime, so no books.
Tonight Archer spent a little time swinging around in the living room. He takes some of his best naps in his swing. This looks pretty uncomfortable, but he never complains.

Then Archer gets a evening snack and usually falls asleep in Mommie's arms. I let him stay there for awhile and sometimes I even take a little cat nap with him. I know there is a short window of time in his life where this will be the norm and I want us both to enjoy it.
