One day I’m gonna look back at this year, amazed at how we did this three under three thing, but so thankful that we did.
Being a dad is my favorite. But also, half the time I’m like… how am I somebody’s dad?! Let alone three people’s?? I feel pretty young at heart. I always wanted to be a dad, but got used to thinking about it like this futuristic thing. But I’ve got three Animaniacs with half my DNA and minds of their own.
But I love it. I get to do so many things in life that make me feel like the luckiest person ever, but none take more energy or add more meaning quite like dad life.
People’s senses of worth and identity are so often influenced by the signals they get from their dads along the way. It’s my heads up to be intentional about it, but I also have it good with these three.
My bambini call my attention to what actually matters, the wonders scattered around everyday life, and the impact I actually have on the world around me.
I love Rhys’ confidence and leadership- tough kid forged like his mom. I love Kai’s inherent sweetness and chill vibes, packed into a ridiculously fast growing body. I love how deep Juniper’s curiosity runs and her responsiveness to the world around her.
Every day I get to wake up to the best gifts I could have ever asked for. Sometimes even after 6AM
