John has been home with the kids now for a good amount of time. The situation is less than an ideal but some great things have come from it.
For example, he has been able to pick Tyler up from school which Tyler just loves and the kids have gotten to spend more time at home with their own things and space and they seem so complete and happy this way. Gen has really bonded with her Dad. She is definitely my mini- me, she is all mine in so many ways, but now she runs up to her Daddy and hugs and kisses him a lot more often. She is also allowing him to help her with daily things that I alone used to have to do more and more such as brushing, washing and blow drying her hair. Bella has always been a Daddy's girl, and that has not changed one bit.
I love that the kids do benefit from this in such a great way and I feel like it is a welcomed change for them. What a great opportunity! In the beginning I thought this could be a train wreck, but John is great, he has really amazed me. He gets the house work done and so many errands done, all with three kids! Impressive I must say!! He even packs up the diaper bag on his own now! Since Tyler was born this was "my job" he wouldn't even have a clue what to put in there. Now, he knows, packs extra food and snacks even, sure it is a lot messier than I would like, but to me it is still nothing short of a miracle! (yes honey a miracle, lol).
I will admit, I am a little jealous, I do wish it was me, but I am so blessed that John is really my other half, and does everything so seamlessly when there is not any other option. I need not worry about my children's care if something happened to me, John has proved that. Tyler, Genesis, Isabella and I are so very lucky.
Here are some pics of what the kids enjoy at Daddy Day Care!!:
They go on fun field trips to Monkey Joe's. 
They get to stay in their jammies and play in the play room!
Bella is learning what the park is and is loving it!
Ty and Gen ride their scooters and bikes while Bella gets pulled in her wagon.
More fun at the parks!
Art time! The kids love crafts, and yes, John does those too! Here is a dino museum exhibit that they have been working on. Those are shoe boxes that they paint into a certain theme and then place the appropriate dinosaur in it. I have a feeling this exhibit will get bigger and bigger. What fun!
