As a mom I am constantly multitasking. I think generally women do this more than men and so when I see my husband multitask with the kids, I find it quite entertaining since it usually involves trying to distract the kids.
I definitely saw this last night. My husband asked me to cut his hair. In order to do this without the kids being in the way, we set up the gate at the edge of the kitchen so that the kids can watch if they want, but they can’t get to us. While I was getting everything ready he started playing with the kids by throwing a ball over the gate. Luke laughed and went to the get the ball and then came back to the gate and threw the ball at his daddy. This cycle continued until our baby girl wanted in on the action, and the kids were fighting over who got to throw the ball at daddy. So before starting to cut my husband’s hair I went and got another ball. So now both kids were throwing balls at daddy.
This all worked great until I started cutting daddy’s hair. I have to say my husband did a good job for the first 5 minutes or so, he held his head “just so” and still got the balls and threw them at the kids. But after a while he couldn’t reach the balls every time they came over the gate. Which meant I began multitasking as well, when they were out of reach I had to reach over and pick up the balls and throw them at the kids myself. Before I knew it we were all playing this game while I was trying to cut daddy’s hair. Quite the family fun activity!
