My Moment: July Fourth Edition

So my moment this week was going to be downing the last drops of wine last Friday on night one of my Calistoga spa weekend, but now I'm supposed to do a July 4th edition.

Okey Dokey, no problem. My moment was watching my kids play in the pool after only four days of swim lessons. These are kids who barely got in the water even with a death grip around Mommy's neck just a few weeks ago.

It's now become as hard to drag them away from the pool as it is away from the park. Lips blue, teeth chattering, fingers and toes turning into prunes, they still stay to show off their new found skills to all who will watch.

They finally got to use the Spiderman boogie boards their aunt got them for free from work - they work much better in the pools of California than the snow of Utah.

Why does Dad Rock!

It's the MayasMom Dad Rocks contest - so why does my husband rock as a dad? He simply LOVES being a dad.

We tried, and tried and tried to get pregnant with our first little munchkin. Just a short four years later there he was. During the pregnancy my husband got the book "She's having a baby and I'm having a breakdown" and, except for bringing me jewelry as a birth gift :) really took it to heart. The first two weeks he scattered bottles of water all around so they would always be in reach, made me breakfast every morning, took a lot of time off to take care of us.

Now amost 5 years and one more baby later, he's been to more "mommy and me" classes than mommy ever has, talks about the kids endlessly to random strangers, never shied away from poopy diapers, takes enough photos to fill a houes and could not imagine life without them. He takes them out to play soccer, he takes them out ChuckECheese and MickeyDs when mom's away, and jokes around until their tears turn to laughter...and that is why Dad Rocks.

Thanks MayasMom!
