A Father's Day Post :)

I have 999 reasons to brag about MS as a father, let me share with you the top 5 so as not to bore you with the long list :).

1. He really really finds time to play with Trisha. He has his uber busy moments at the office, but when I remind him about not spending enough time with his daughter, he would immediately do something about it. The house gets crazy when father and daughter run around the house chasing each other or playing hide & seek. The laughter and shrieks of happiness from Trisha are the sweetest sounding "noise" I have ever heard.

2. He spends time watching Barney with Trisha. We both hated Barney before Trisha came. We promised we wouldn't let Trisha watch Barney stuff as we couldn't really understand why kids love Barney. But today, all 3 of us (MS, Trisha and myself) LOVES Barney! We watch Barney DVDs all the time and we only listen to Barney songs on the car stereo whenever Trisha's with us in the car. Thanks to Barney - Trisha now knows how to count to 10, she knows her ABCs, and she knows all the dialogues from her Barney DVDs. Talk about a change of heart.

3. He wakes up to feed Trisha or change her nappies when I am too sleepy to do so. He has been a hands-on dad eversince I gave birth to his darling daughter. And I appreciate it when he volunteers to get up when he knows I am too tired or sleepy.

4. He makes an effort to come home early and be with Trisha when I go on business trips (has only been once so far, with another one coming this July) or when I have dinner with friends (which is very rare as well). MS has to work late because he goes to work late ;). So it really means a lot to me when he comes home early during these rare times that I need him to.

5. He patiently carries Trisha around when we go to the mall. It's so difficult to shop with a baby! I think all mommies will agree with me on that. Especially at Trisha's age when she just loves to run around and touches everything that gets her curious. I appreciate it so much when MS would distract her from me so I can fit shoes or clothes or just to make my purchase.

Hon, thanks :). Trisha is really blessed to have you as a Dad.

Happy Happy Father's day to you.
