father's day

My son often tells me that he loves me "this much," and he'll hold his hands out to show me how much.  "And," he then says, "I love Daddy THIIIIIS much!" and he stretches his arms out as far as they can go.

Despite my mommy ego getting knocked down a peg or two, I love it that he loves his dad THIIIIIS much.  I love it that he gets excited about spending special "Daddy time" with my husband when I am out running errands or getting together with friends.  I love it that there are more giggles and laughter when Daddy is around. 

I am the one who kisses boo boos and calms nightmares, tucks in bed and reads stories, but Daddy is the fun one who really knows how to play creatively with our boy (although, he's pretty good with boo boos and stories, too).  Our son is so blessed to have him for a dad, and I am so blessed to have him as a partner, friend, husband.  It is a wonderful feeling to be in this parenting gig with Hubby - it is so much easier (and more fun, too) when you are doing it together with someone you love.

Happy Father's Day, my Love.
