Benefits of being a SAHD

Yes I am actually getting to the point of using blogger lingo...SAHD stands for stay at home dad...how cool am I? I probably shouldn't mention that until about two weeks ago I didn't even know what a blog was. But on to the benefits of my new job...SAHD. First and foremost I have managed to lose ten pounds since taking on these two crazy kids full time. A lot of that having to do with the awesome kids club at my gym, but also the fact that I barely get a chance to sit down all day unless I am feeding the little sausage man his bottle. Another benefit is catching up on all the awesome daytime television, at least on the days when my daughter is at preschool, because obviously when she's here nickelodeon rules. But I am so in with the chicks on The View I could easily be a guest host, and Ellen is already starting to secure a special place in my heart. But to be honest the biggest benefit of being a SAHD is the time I am getting with my kids. Just being able to be with them everyday and watch them grow and learn and explore this crazy world, it could not be more rewarding. That may sound a little sappy but its true, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
