I Married a Super Dad!

Now, notice I wrote “a” super dad. I know mine’s not the only one. There’s an elite band of Wonder-Daddies all over the world. I just happened to be lucky blessed enough to bag one of them.

I should have had an inkling going into our marriage that Andy was going to be a Super Dad. He’s always been good with kids…he worked in an athletic club daycare center for 10 years! I knew he’d be a good dad, but I am constantly reminded just how blessed I am.

Case in Point:

  • When I went back to work 3 weeks after Rylee was born, Andy was home with her for the next 3 months…and he was excited about it.
  • He has tons of patience with Ry…much more than I have in fact. There have been days I get so fed up with my kid, the moment he walks in the door I pass her off. He’s never done that.
  • Fridays are his days with her and he is not happy when he has to give that up.
  • He gets consistently PISSED OFF when he is out and about with Ry and strangers say “Oh, you’re babysitting today.” He typically responds with “No, dumb ass, It’s not considered babysitting when it’s your own kid!”
  • He tries to put pony tails in Ry’s hair when she asks for them…even though they turn out horrible.
  • He shares his bananas with her.
  • He will read books with her for hours even though he hates reading.
  • Even when his back is hurting (long story) he bends down to pick Ry up…even though he probably shouldn’t.
  • He gets upset with me when I don’t wake him up in the middle of the night if Rylee wakes up crying.
  • We have actually got into little arguments over who gets to put her to bed at night…now we let her choose.
  • He’d rather stay at home with the little monster than go meet Zac Brown with me.
The night Rylee was born.

    Seriously, like the sweetest blog I've read to date. I not only love that Andy is so obviously in-love with his baby girl, but that his wife is so obviously in-love with her baby's daddy. :)
