back to work - today was jenny's last day of parental leave, and we're both sad that jenny will have less time with little russell. ideally, i'll get a full-time job by december and then jenny can either work part-time or quit her job entirely. while i've enjoyed hanging out with russell these past two weeks, it's clear to me that the bond between mother and child is stronger than between the father and child. it's much more difficult for me to get the little boy to drink milk or take naps than for jenny. likewise, jenny's mom seems to have a spell over russell as well. it's got to be a female-thing.
