Parenting can be the most draining job frequently with not a lot of confirmation that you’re on the "right track" or that you are the role model you ought to be and these little people live right in your armpit and SEE EVERYTHING!
Today I asked Micah to please get me a diaper for the baby.
His response: "Okay. I will get the diaper. Not for me. For the baby. I’m doing it for the baby." and he had the most purposeful, content demeanor. I know what he meant was that he didn’t want to and he wasn’t doing it to just not "get in trouble" with mom.
He was doing it for the baby. (3 months old) The helpless, kinda boring but sweet tiny person in our house. HIS baby as he says sometimes; the one he might be a little rough with at times but whom he LOVES.
