Bob wasn't near the 'baby person' Jesse is, but he made up for lost time once they could walk and talk. 'My heart belongs to daddy' is true here too. I've often wondered, prayed, agonized, puzzled, been upset, angry, felt it was unfair, blamed him for being the kid pleaser and leaving me with the less fun parts of child rearing; but at the end of the day, I think an awesome relationship with a dad is the greatest gift a child can have because it sets them up for a great relationship with their heavenly father. Mom's are suppose to adore their children, and moms are suppose to be there, but to have a father who IS there, is a treasure that's becoming rarer every day. I've also learned a lot from Jesse's dad...how to be less bossy and more caring, how to think about what I say and how it will impact the child rather than just say what I'm thinking to get the job done, how to nurture rather than parent, and how to have fun and lighten a situation rather than intensify it and make it worse with my anger and control. Some of my lessons took way too long to learn...thankfully, God doesn't give up easily!!! <br /><br />You (like me) bring so many awesome things to the table which will be such a benefit to Judah in the days ahead. There are definitely things the kids call me about that they know won't get done as well in Dad's court (you know what I'm talking about!)so you will have your own special place in his heart. Knowing you, I also know you will continue to come before your father in heaven and seek Him as you grow in mothering ... it's an awesome journey, and I'm glad we're on it together!Linda Dukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328010935528038852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-25664404645978760022010-03-19T10:55:25.575-04:002010-03-19T10:55:25.575-04:00I feel your pain, at almost 2 months Eli is a dadd...I feel your pain, at almost 2 months Eli is a daddy's boy.

I thought that meant something to you.<br />2. Hula is a mama's girl (totally gets that painful look when Dad is holding her), so we had to get Gerdy so that Matt could have a little love, too. I know they're not children, but maybe baby dos will be all over you.<br />3. Even if the second baby is head-over-heels for Jesse, I think you got it right: it's not just that baby loves daddy, it's that he loves this daddy. I am so excited to be a mom, and mostly because my kids will get Matt as a daddy. An awesome baby-daddy is worth his weight in gold.Amy Franckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363457636044895242noreply@blogger.com
