As summer begins and Andy and I switch roles, I need to give a HUGE shout out to the love of my life, amazing teammate, and Daddy of the Year (a unanimous vote by yours truly and the little munchkin)! I know there are a lot of great dads out there, but Calvin and I are a little biased and think that this guy is the best!
Andy and I feel very fortunate that we were able to both spend a significant stretch of time with Calvin at home. I know that most men either aren't able to or don't stay home with a little one for paternity leave, but I am so thankful that Andy made it a priority and we were able to make it work for us. It ended up being the best thing for out little family of three!
Andy will admit that it started out rough, but luckily the challenges were short lived and only lasted for a couple of days. By Day 4 of Daddy Day Care, we were all adjusted to the transition. In the time that Andy stayed home, he was able to figure things out to help Calvin thrive, did things in his own way, and ultimately bonded with Calvin in a way that is extremely special. During his time at home, Calvin always had a smile on his face and the result is a strong relationship with both of his parents.
Here are a few snapshots of what Daddy Day Care was like...
Calvin and Andy will always have the two months that they spent every day together to look back on as something special. It is obvious to me the benefit of this time when I see Calvin's eyes shine as he looks at his Dad. I am so thankful that I have such a true partner in this game of life. It definitely is NOT a little thing, but one of those big things that makes life that much sweeter.
