househusband and sam words

I love having J at home. J prefers to be called a "househusband" (the counterpart to a "housewife"), and he's doing a great job in this new role. He also is kept busy in the mornings with freelance work. I usually watch Sam until 1:30 in the afternoon, and then J takes over while I get ready for work. Although I realize this situation won't last long, it's been fun.

J cooks dinners four nights a week, and I think that is my favorite part of having a househusband. Not only do I not have to cook (yay!), but J is a lot more creative at cooking than me. We are eating tons of delicious things that I have never cooked (and in some cases, never considered cooking) since we got married. We've had Indian curry, sloppy joes, homemade pizza, and delicious spicy chicken. I don't know what I'll do, once I have to take over cooking duty again. The few meals that I've rotated for the past few years will not be able to compete...

In other news, Sam's vocabulary is growing each day. Here are my two favorite words:

• "bi-gok-gig-gers" = binoculars
• "bananimous" = unanimous (Although, I have to admit: he doesn't understand what this word means. It was the "Word of the Day" on the Sesame Street episode for Election Day, so he's been saying "bananimous" when asking to watch that specific show on our DVR. We're working on getting him to understand the signification, though!)
