Our Little Leach: Father's Day

I realize I'm quite tardy in writing this post. We celebrated our favorite guy a week ago on Father's Day. I could sit here and gush about how great of a father John is. He has been nothing short of great since the day we found out we were expecting. And I knew he would be. In the years pre-kids, he wasn't sure that he'd be big into babies. He would always tell me, "Just keep them with you until they are 2 and then hand them over to me." :) Insinuating he's not a baby guy. Today, he will now tell you how wrong he was about his feeling towards babies and that having his own to love has totally change him.

A few reasons why John is such a great dad.

He's patient and love teach James new things.
He's hands on- always participating in dinner time, bath time, changing diapers, giving James a bottle, taking him to run errands so I can get things done at home, taking him to daycare, etc.
He's a team player with me and he's been that way since day one. Whenever he's home he's pulling his weight helping me get through the night time routine, etc.
He LOVES James. It's so apparent and so endearing to watch. They both light up whenever they see each other
He's fun. Are you suprised? He's big into play time, trying new toys with James, teaching him new games, reading books, etc. He's just plain f.u.n.

I had no doubt John would rock fatherhood. It fits him well and there is no one else I'd rather be on this parenthood journey with than him.

Happy Father's Day, John (a week late, oops!)! You are the rock of our family and we love you more than you even know and are so thankful that you are ours.

We love you!

Mommy and James
