In honor of father's day tomorrow, this post is dedicated to Derek, my wonderful husband and Annabel's daddy. Here are just some of the reasons we love daddy so much:
- He's not just a "helper," he's just as much of a parent as I am!
- But he's a great helper!
- He changes diapers - even cloth
- He cooks us a yummy dinner every night
- He works hard to make our home a pretty place to live
- He humors me when I decide it's time to make changes in Annabel's schedule, eating habits, painting the bedroom purple, etc.
- He always remembers when its time to give Annabel her medicine and the directions for taking it.
- He lets me be the main caregiver- not because he doesn't want to, but because he knows I love it so much
- He made sacrifices so that I could stay home part time with the baby
- He changes his schedule around so that he can stay home when I have class
- He encourages me to finish school, even though it really isn't convenient for us right now.
- He always smiles when he sees us
- He came up with his own special nickname for our daughter- A.B.
- He is a good listener - when I have to vent about work, or even about things that nobody would want to hear about (child abuse, divorce, poverty, mental illness) just so I can get it off my chest and not have to carry it by myself.
- Sometimes he gets up early with the baby and lets me sleep in
- Even after 7 years together, we still have just as much fun and enjoy each other's company, if not even more now
- He encourages my "natural" parenting style, i.e. using cloth diapers, making homemade babyfood, breastfeeding, etc.
- He loves us both, just for who we are:)
- He's just an all-around great husband and dad! We love you Derek!
