To all the dads out there - Happy Father's Day!
It takes a lot of work to be a parent and all the fathers deserve a day of appreciation. Andy helps me out in so many ways. He helps around the house with chores as well as helps with Matthew. He gets up in the middle of the night to console Matthew and he helps take and pick up Matthew from daycare- a BIG help! He does all the grocery shopping and cooking. He took Matthew to the mall for 3 hours one afternoon so I could host a tea luncheon at the house. He said they bonded during their father/son time together.
In the beginning, Matthew was tied to me because of the breast-feeding but now that he is weaned and he is getting older and more curious, he loves spending time with his daddy. He has a book that kids can feel daddy's scratchy face, and then Andy showed Matthew his scratchy face and Matthew said "Ohhh". It was so cute.
On Sunday, Matthew was baptized. The priest gave an excellent sermon and Matthew did pretty good. Andy and I kept trying to get Matthew to stay still and quiet. He cried a little but overall he was good. He just wanted to walk around. At one point the priest looked at Andy and said "Well if that's not your father then I don't know who is" and Andy's face turned red - it was funny. We had a luncheon at the house afterwards for family and a few friends.
