Tanner,I want you to know how WONDERFUL your daddy was while you were a baby. I feel the need to document this so it can be a part of the story about your care through the stages of preemie, newborn, and infant.
Your daddy is very HELPFUL around the house. He takes care of the yard, the trash, and the recycling. He keeps mommy's car filled up with gas and washes and vacuums it when necessary. He washes the baby-related dishes most of the time and microsteams them so they are sterile. He also cooks dinner for mommy! He is not only FABULOUS on the grill, but plans, purchases, and prepares the meals for about 6 nights out of the week! I have to clean up after dinner which is a pretty sweet deal.
Daddy also feeds you the bedtime bottle and he is the one that gets up in the middle of the night if you wake up hungry! You guys have quite
the routine and I am afraid to mess with it. Daddy puts your jammies on, changes your diaper, turns on your monitor and sound machine and/or humidifier, and gets your crib mobile going, which is the only light in the room when you go to bed. He is the BEST at putting you in your swaddle, which he does halfway through the bottle as you are getting sleepy.Daddy also HELPS by taking care of you in the morning while I get ready for us to go to school. I already have your outfit picked out, but Daddy dresses you and puts you in your swing to watch the news. I get your medicines ready, if you have any at the time, and make your bottles while he loads the car with diaper bag and my school things. We snuggle you a little bit before I take you to daycare.
Overall, your daddy is the GREATEST and I wanted you to know that!
how sweet hol! you have two pretty great guys in your life.
ReplyDeletethis post made me both happy and sad.... I love you guys, and sometimes it makes me so sad that I am not there. Feel like I miss so much in your lives. And vice versa of course. Great to hear you appreciate and recognize Tobin so much for his help and support!!

ReplyDeleteHolly,
ReplyDeleteSo SWEET! I love the post. I hope to see you sometime again. I have a NEW plan on my blog postings and checking emails. Mark and I planned it out last night! I feel too that it is so hard to stay caught up. I need to post about so much in Sept. already! Man...
The girls are good. Sydney turned 5 on the 6th and Maddy is growing so big too! Both doing great! I started the Pre-school...I will blog later about that.
Have Tobin call Mark if he wants to go hunting at all with him...Mark is in full swing too!
Hope to see you soon.
Love,
Robin
That will be neat for Tanner to read when he gets older. Trai is the complete opposite of what my father was to me. I love seeing everything he is willing to do to help me out and how much time he spends with Emmarie. Kids these days are lucky to have good daddies that want to be involved 50/50!
