It is a well known fact around our house that Dad is good at making Hunter laugh, and Mom is good at soothing him when he cries. How good is Dad at soothing an upset Hunter? He’s not.Immediately after Nikki leaves for a party last Saturday, Hunter begins screaming. I start with the burping, move to the cradling, attempt the Mylicon drops, try the singing, the swinging and the bouncing till my arms goes numb – nothing works. Until, I try the dryer. As seen in the photo, I build a make-shift bed out of old towels, start it up and viola! The kid is sound asleep. I then spend the next hour sitting on the laundry room counter, making sure he doesn’t fall off.
Can you say, “Father of the Year?”
SIDE NOTE: If it were up to Nikki, we would have replaced our ghetto fabulous washer & dryer two years ago. I, however, think we need to drive them into the ground.
