Commuter Dad is taking a break. I’m on a parental leave sabbatical. I’ll start blogging here again in early August when I’m hopping the bus and sailing on the ferry twice a day bound for Halifax and then home to the kids and Mé in The Passage.
Until then, I’m writing about my parental leave comings and goings with three tots under 5 and a loving mama and wife at The Finest Gift.
Our first 50 days with Lila-Jeanne have been marvelous. Nellie and Noah’s excitement about their little sis is still running high. Life has livened up for Mé and I too.
Lila has just recently started smiling and is putting together her own vocabulary. We have our best conversations during diaper changes. It’s playtime – talk, listen and mimic.
Although Lila’s growing at an astounding pace we’re still in the new baby smell zone. It’s the most intoxicating aroma I’ve ever come across. It is the essence of beauty, wonder and promise that commingles to form a heady extract, an incomparable baby elixir. It’s a joy to relive beginnings all over again.
