Dad is stepping up his game!
Because Susan is going back to work full time for the month of July, I’m now taking care of feedings in the morning and will be at home with Aubrey every Friday while Susan’s at work. I’ve been hesitant about looking forward to this because this will be the first time I’ve had a full 8+ hour day alone with Aubrey without Susan. But I think I am getting more and more excited about it. I think I’ve experienced everything she has to offer in the form of disasters (ie. spit up on, pooped on, sneezed on, pee’d on….) so no surprises there. It’s the unexpected I’m worried about.
But, you know, it had to happen sometime. Just yesterday morning I found myself actually enjoying my time with her, we were laying on the floor of her room, just pointing out some of the objects on the wall, Aubrey sounding out jibberish that I’m sure she thinks are words in her infant mind. We were just having a good time. Then I found myself praying over her. It was not intentional but it just happened. God just suprises me, even when I’m not trying, he’s using me. I wish I could just keep that in mind, because I wonder what could happen if I do try?

Hope you enjoy your time with her, Bobby. I think that a dad’s love is one of the most powerful and influential forces in a little girl’s life! Suz, hope the transition back to work goes well. Love you guys!
