Erik & Colton

 Erik is staying home with Colton again, which makes us

jump up and down!  More play dates!  Yay!

Last time Erik stayed home with Colton things didn't go so well.

 Erik went crazy, Colton went crazy.

Lots of alcohol was consumed, mostly by Erik.

 But this time things are going to be different.

 Not necessarily less alcohol consumption, 

just more successful overall.

Poor little Norah wanted so badly to play like the big kids!

She watched

She got jealous.

I think this new adventure is going to be really good for the two of them.

 Erik made the decision to approach this stay at home Dad thing

differently this time. 

Rather then trying to accomplish things and having Colton 

entertain himself, Erik is going to just focus on Colton.

 They have been doing fun things together everyday, making 

an effort to get out of the house and find new adventures.

 I noticed a huge change in the interactions between them,

they both seem happier and to be enjoying themselves.

 I think this next year is going to be so good for them!

 I'm so proud of Erik for the way he is approaching 

things this time.

I'm sure it won't always be easy, but it will be worth it.
