I'm on a 3 month paternity leave right now. I had a rough idea of what projects I wanted to complete but so far, it's been full throttle with my two kids (one being an infant)

I don't expect to get much done apart from enjoying the summer with the kids, tbh :-)

It has been nice so far, though.

I loved my paternity leave. After a few years I quit my fulltime job to take care of the child more too.

Unfortunately things didn't work out, and I had to go back to a full-time job, but I cherish the memories of that period. Babies are awesome, of course, but it was much more interesting and rewarding spending time as a stay-at-home parent with an older child, since we could talk and interact much more than was possible with a newborn.

Heh, you already have your priorities laid out. Must be liberating :)
