Mitch here!

I’m writing this post on my phone while laying on the floor in Emma’s nursery. Raffi is on the Sonos. The floor is strewn with discarded Sesame Street stuffed animals, and the toy of choice (for the moment) is this thing. Sorry in advance for the typos and grammatical errors. Writing for my wife can be intimidating. She loves grammar.

Wife here, jumping in. This is simply not true. If it were, you’d see far fewer mistakes on this site every day. ;)

As you may have gathered from Kelly’s posts lately, things are a little hectic around here. The reason I’m laying on the floor in the middle of the day is because I’m currently on Paternity Leave, or at least I was when I was writing this. Paternity Leave started as holiday travel and morphed into a monthlong crash course in all-day childcare. I’ve learned quickly that I can no longer write a blog post–or do anything, really–in the same amount of time that I used to.

CRAP! (Literally.)
