Dada's Day , Belated

We have been having internet problems at my house which could be a whole other post in itself, especially in regards to my ability to manage "tech stress". I wanted to be sure, however, to acknowledge how wonderful it is to see the relationship developing between my husband and my son. "Dada" as Liam refers to him still, is his go to guy. They play ball, they play blocks, they play cars. In fact, they play A LOT, which is so important for our little guys. They also "watch ball" which encompasses anything on television involving something round and competitive. I can see my husband's face light up every time Liam asks. I am pretty sure no greeting I could ever welcome him with will match the running smile and knee hug he gets from Liam as he arrives home each day. This is after Liam has been waiting in the window, thumb in mouth, blanket in hand waiting for Dada to get home. A man and his son.

I also should acknowledge how even in the hardest, deepest throws of parenting, I know how much harder it would be alone and in spite of it all, my husband and I are doing the best we can to raise our boy the best way we know how. These last two posts bookmark the days devoted to mothers and fathers but each day should be a celebration of parenthood itself and all of the joys and challenges it brings. Nonetheless, I honor the devotion and commitment my son's father has to him and to me. To all of the Dads out there...I hope your day was wonderful. Enjoy the journey.
