Neither of us had beaten an entry in the series, and as we were between games, we thought it could tide us over. That Sunday, after discussing my recently purchased copy of Metal Slug Anthology with a friend, we popped it in. Unlike the tasks I had planned to do, the idea to play through a Metal Slug game each day was spontaneous.
About once a day though, he would take an extended nap, which was when I’d fit in chores, lunch, and a Metal Slug game. And it wasn’t that he didn’t sleep much, it just came in the form of numerous short naps if I added it all up, he probably slept as much as I thought he would. I quickly found out just keeping the house tidy was a success. Before the week off, I’d foolishly planned on scanning in documents from our filing cabinet and updating photos with GPS coordinates while he slept. But being with him all day and trying to fit in some semblance of a normal schedule was exhausting. At this stage in his development, he seemed to make noticeable improvements with his motor skills daily and I may be a little biased, but everything he does is so fascinating!ĭuring evening hours and weekends, I’d already experienced how much effort goes into watching an infant, how selfless you have to be. I had taken off the week when he was born, and of course we had plenty of bonding time in the evenings and on weekends when my wife would get a break, but nonetheless, spending so much unbroken time with him was immensely fulfilling.
My wife’s FMLA was scheduled to end and accordingly, we had planned for me to use up some accrued vacation time to prolong daycare one more week, and you know, get some quality time with our little tree frog. No, it was pretty great because I spent the week with my three month old son. Last week was pretty great, and not just because I played through a different Metal Slug game each day.
