Back to work

Today is my first day back at work after two weeks of paternity leave. It's surprisingly nice to be back. I figure that life won't settle into anything resembling a 'routine' until both of us are back at work, so this is the first step.

During two weeks of paternity leave I learned the following:

• I can still function quite well on very little sleep.
• K requires much more sleep than do I.
• Waking up in the wee hours of the night to care for a sweet little baby is really not all that bad.
• Newborn babies are much easier to care for than 17-month old's.
• I have an amazing mother.
• I have amazing in-laws.
• Baby girls tend to wet the back of a diaper, boys the front.
• After two weeks of changing diapers I still feel as though I should cover my eyes when my daughters private parts are exposed.
• I tire of TV quickly and most everything on TV is a total waste of time.
  
• Being "unplugged" or "offline" for two weeks can be quite refreshing.
• I am blessed to have a great wife and two incredible children.

Well, I don't suspect my employer wants to pay me to blog. Time to cross some stuff off my to-do list.
