Father's Day

Mason,


Today, we are celebrating wonderful fathers. I happen to know a thing about great Dads which is why I am taking the time to shout out to two of my favorite men.


Your Dad is my best friend. While we are not doing anything to celebrate today (he is sick), his contribution to our family should be celebrated all the time. He loves you so much and does things for you some Dad's laugh at. I will never forget how excited he was when he found out we could be pregnant. He always wanted to be a father and he is pretty darn good at it. Waking up at night, getting up early, doing silly dances or running around the house in circles to keep you from crying. You name it, he is cool with doing it. All out of love.


Now your Grandpa (my dad) is a rare gem. Sometimes I think he is the Wizard of Oz. Like the all-knowing. Now would be a great time to ask for the video we took when we told my parents they were going to be grandparents for the first time. Grandpa blushed and smiled. You could tell he was ready. When he found out you were a boy he was even more stoked (finally someone to mow the lawn!). Now that you are here, he is the perfect grandpa. He loves on you, lets you poop/throw up on him (he wouldn't even change my diaper), and lets you drool on his computer. The way you stare at him when he is talking serious is so funny. I can tell you already look up to him.


The thought of you being a Daddy one day puts some serious pressure on me. I hope I raise you to be a Daddy just like mine and yours.


Love ya booger (literally),
Mom
