Happy Father's Day Jonathan!


So it's Father's Day and I must say that I am beyond blessed to be surrounded by the most amazing father's on this planet.

I am so proud to say that the best one by far is the one I am married to! :)

Jonathan really does go above and beyond the call of duty. When most mothers have to beg their husbands to get up in the middle of the night with a fussy baby, Jonathan is the first one to jump out of bed, without even a word from me.

He rarely balks at changing a poopy diapers or giving her a bath. It comes from a different place. Not out of forced responsibility, but out of a genuine love for Lyric.

He loves to be with his baby girl. He loves to hold her and play with her, read her books. He is such a hands on father. He loves hugs and kisses and every new thing she does is like a magic trick to him. His world revolves around our little girl and I love that.

Jon has a big responsibility in the morning. I have to be at work before Lyric wakes up. So that means, Jonathan gets her up in the morning, feeds her breakfast, picks out her clothes, dresses her, gets the diaper bag together and drops her off at Christina's house every single work morning. And the thing is I have never heard him complain once about it.
He looks at it different than most father's. He knows that the times he spends with her goes by quickly, and that these memories he makes with just her and him first thing in the morning are going to be with him the rest of his life. He cherishes the mornings with her, and I think that is just about the sweetest thing ever.

He is such a tender and loving father. Strong in discipline, but very gentle and kind. He is patient with her. Much more than I am.

I'm not in the least bit nervous about having two kids, and the reason is because I know I am not alone. It's not me raising the kids and Jon doing his own thing. We are both together in this. Parenting is equal and he tries to never makes me feel like it's all up to me.

He just the most amazing dad and husband ever! I am so beyond blessed to have him in my life.

So Happy Father's Day Jonathan! I love you so much!
