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. :)
What a good daddy!! And that's great that he loves spending his teacher breaks with Rylee!
