To my baby daddy
Posted on June 17th, 2012
Dear Hubbibi,
Thanks for being you. YOU are a fantastic father – an absolute natural. Thanks for being a Daddy who…
… timed my contractions for hours and never failed me during a hard labour that took forever…
… never lost your cool during a freaky labour that took almost no time at all…
… begets really cute children…
… changed ALL the diapers in the first week of parenthood, and countless others afterwards…
… makes your firstborn son laugh uproariously on a daily basis…
… knows how to get him to sleep…
… ensures that the veggies get eaten…
… does dishes and vacuuming to the highest standard of perfection…
… demonstrates wonder, curiosity, and learning in everyday life…
… makes bath time super-awesome…
… doesn’t gag at the gross moments…
… will be able to keep up the illusion of knowing everything for a long time – possibly forever…
… makes fantastic sound effects…
… takes your son on long exploratory hikes, even if you have to trek a long way with him on your shoulders at the end…
… consciously uses patience…
… is a wonderful example of gentleness combined with strength…
… can say no when needed…
… remembers very well how to play…
… is, in fact, a Lego master…
… will sing and dance with your kid, even though you don’t think you’re good at it…
… shows your child that real men have depth, use respect, think hard, care a lot, and treat others well…
… never holds back in showing love and affection to your family…
… appreciates, even though it’s so hard, being the father of two sons, one of whom you can hold only in your heart…
… is truly thrilled to be expecting a daughter…
… and takes such good care of your baby mama.
I love you jillions.
