Today is my best friend's 31st birthday. Since babies are clearly on the brain (and the main focus of this blog) I thought it would make sense to talk about what an amazing father I believe Collin will be:
-He is a child at heart which will make him a great playmate for Laila and our (hopefully) future children
-He has a heart and a love for Jesus which he will undoubtedly pass onto our kids by example and teaching
-He loves me and is good at showing it. He will do the same and even more with our children, I am sure
-He has a love for children and is great at interacting with them. He tends to be nervous around babies but for no reason, as he is a complete natural (as indicated in photos above, with his sister and a few of our friends' kids)
-He is patient and kind, even tempered and VERY slow to anger. It takes a lot to shake him, which is good because I hear kids are really good at trying to do that!
-He was born to be a dad, just as I feel I was born to be a mom. He is beyond excited about Laila's arrival and will do his best every day to make sure she is cared for and protected
Oh, and of course, the strongest reason I know he will be a good dad...he already is! He's been helping me raise this little one for almost 5 years now, and she's turned out alright!
I love you, babe.
Happy Birthday. I pray this year will be your best yet as you
enter a completely new phase of your life and become our baby's daddy.
