How are we managing life with two kids? Here’s how:
– I am officially ‘taking the summer off’ which means no regular trips to the PhD desk downtown, no regular meetings with advisors, and no real commitment to research time
– Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday: 8-12pm, Michelle our fabulous babysitter watches Will. When needed, she helps me with Kate, too… so that I can do things like shower without worry. $8/hour.
– Thursday and Friday: 8:30-12:30pm, I take Will to “school” where he has structured activities with a classmate lead by one of their teachers. $17/hour total, split with another family (so $8.50/hour.)
It is incredible how this help — really just watching Will and giving him focused time to play — allows us to do so much!
