The Daddy Fan Club

Lately I feel like I'm living with a celebrity. You may never see him on the cover of "People" magazine, but in our house, he has a very devoted following. He's "Da-Da"!

From squeals of glee when his key hits the door to constant clinging, hugs, and kisses on the weekend, Lucie and Ryan's Dad is a very popular guy. I hear inquiries about Da-Da all day long. Yesterday, at the park, I mentioned Chris and all I heard was "Da-Da!" "Da-Da!" the entire ride home. Since I get so many questions about his whereabouts, I wouldn't be surprised if "at the office" soon becomes part of R & L's vocabulary.

Am I jealous? Sometimes just a bit. Though that quickly fades when I realize that with parental popularity comes a fair amount of responsibility - namely diaper changes, meal clean-ups and resolutions of toy disputes whenever he's home. And quickly I don't mind playing second fiddle to such a popular guy.

such a sweet post!
I'm sure it must be a little jealousy-inducing to see Chris getting so much attention... but I'll bet Chris is jealous of you getting to hang out with them all day. :) How lucky you are to have such a great dad for a hubby!

I'd have to say I'm a big fan too! What a joy it is to share these moments with the two of you even from here. It so extraordinary to watch the lives of Lucie and Ryan unfold. I look everday to see what you all are up to. I feel blessed to see who they each are becomming and what AWESOME parents they each share. All love,
Sandy
