Dearest Smoochy,I pray that you never EVER feel under-appreciated or taken for granted. You are my rock, my soul-mate, and most importantly the most able-bodied involved father in the word. I cannot tell you what a huge help you are to me with the day-to-day maintenance of our home and all the demands of child rearing.
The bottom line is Smoochy, you rule. You are not afraid to tackle the fullest of diapers, the crankiest of babies, or even two days worth of dirty dishes. I’ve seen you do it all. The highlight of my day is seeing you walk in the door after your work day. You scoop the often sobbing baby into your arms give me a “nice to see you, Honey” kiss and make everything right in the world, or at least right in our living room.
At night I can count on time to myself to take a shower, blog, maybe even read a book because you are there to lend a hand with Sonny. And I know you don’t see it as a chore. When I watch you cooing and talking right along with our son, I know that you are enjoying your favorite time of day. That time is so precious.
Because you are such a good father it gives me room to breathe, which makes me a better mother. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love spending the days with Sonny. I feel privileged to be able to stay home and raise him. But the icing on the cake is that you never leave everything domestic to me.
What did that bumper sticker say, “I’m not spoiled. I’m well taken care of.” Yup. That’s me. All I can say is that I would be lost without you.
