Division of Labor

A few weeks ago, Nina told me she prefers bathing Niko over changing him afterwards and I told her the opposite.  When I bathe Niko, I have to wear a shirt and shorts because I don’t want him pulling my hair.  Nina goes in nude and really enjoys the skin-to-skin contact and she gets to sit in a warmish bath tub.  While Nina is playing and cleaning Niko, I can piddle around do household chores.  When I am done doing what needs to be done, I sit in the chair in the bathroom (most of the time, I have fight Franklin cat for that cherished spot) and enjoy the show.

My thrill comes when they are finished and I get to see both of them naked (only a few seconds of Nina).  I then take Niko and dry him off, pick out his sleeping pajamas, put homemade butt balm on his butt, put a nighttime diaper on him, put his clothes on, and give him back to Nina for food.  When he is finished eating, Nina gives him back to me and I get to put in his crib for sleeping.  Most of the time and before I even leave the bedroom, he is already dreaming of mommy milk.

I know, you thought this was going to be about something else.
