6 weeks in

Well, a slight drop in salary indicates that I have now completed my mandatory 6 weeks of "Daddy Leave". I did 2 weeks in early July, and we've been working 50% each since the beginning of August.

That means that I have been at home, alone with First Born Son for a total of 30 Days already. Despite this, every day feels like the first! Not because it's a fight, or because of dread or fear(although it is a challenge), just because time flies and every day is different.

So, 6 weeks in, but a way to go, we continue on 50% each until the end of February 2009. I really do feel privileged to have this opportunity that not many men have and I really am enjoying getting to know my son as he grows and develops (at a rate of knots!).
