Yes, unfortunately I have to think seriously about the topic of putting my brain to work again for a 40 hour work week. I of course have mixed emotions about the whole ordeal because I love my time with Ethan, but I do look forward to a bit of adult interaction besides the very few hours I see Dave at home. So, starting actually this morning, I woke up with Dave as if I'd be getting ready for work and I'm now trying to work Ethan onto a schedule so it won't be a total interruption when we start the whole daycare ordeal. I've been working on a night routine for about a week now, where Ethan gets his bath and then we read a book and then try to go to sleep. Everything I've read is that babies do better with routine, etc. So, I figure I better get it in gear. Here's a few pics of Daddy doing the bedtime story...Ethan looks fascinated with the "Big Red Barn" book!!

Way to go Dad!! I firmly believe in the schedule thing - I have a great weekday schedule when Rick is at work and of course that all goes out the window on the weekends when he is home!!
Schedules are wonderful, it took Bella until about 5 months but once she got on it it's so nice. Of course today she went down for her 130 nap @ 4, but you have to be flexible, right?
Did you see the new family care thing that BP is offering? Very interesting. Now they just need on-site child care... makes me wonder why they didn't try that out instead. You'll have to ask Sue.
"Everything I've read" You don't need readings. More fun to wing it, like with not knowing gender. Turn it into an experiment. Internalize it. Mwahahaha!
