Mr. Mom

I recently started attending an 8:30 meeting every Sunday morning so Burke gets to be Mr. Mom and get all three girls fed, dressed and out the door on time for church. To my amazement Burke does a great job and is on time, if not early, every week. I started wondering if managing all three kids on my own was not as hard I seemed to believe. Last Sunday when Church started and Burke was no where in sight I knew he had finally hit a snag. I went out to the parking lot to wait for them and he arrived about ten minutes later looking a little flustered. I smiled knowingly and began helping him unload. When I inquired as to what happened I was shocked at his response"I left Liddy!" He got both the girls in the car drove all the way to the church, parked and was getting the girls out of the car when he realized he left the baby!!!!! He quickly drove back home (fortunately we only live 10 minutes from the church) where Liddy was lying happily in her crib talking to her guardian angels. I thought it was brave of Burke to even tell me! He had to know I would never let him live this one down. The next time I am late, leave my cell phone behind, misplace my keys or forget to pack diapers I can feel better knowing that at least I didn't forget the baby!
