My Dearest Belle,
Today was Papa’s first Father’s Day!
And it’s all thanks to you~
You made him a papa - just like you made me a mama.
And what a papa he is…
I honestly don’t know anyone who can love you more or better than Papa. His humor, his care, his obsession with your safety… It drives me crazy sometimes, but that’s just ONE of the ways he knows how to show you he cares.
I gave Papa his Father’s Day present a few weeks back, so there were no surprises. I did want him to see you with the onesies in the picture above as soon as he woke up, but you had other plans in mind:
So I had to take you in to the bathroom to wash you down and change you. It also meant that Papa woke up from the noise and came in to help me with the whole process. He saw you with the stained onesie, and we both had a great laugh. Of course, I threw the onesie in the laundry machine, and we agreed to pretend he didn’t see it yet and act surprised when he woke up from his full sleep.
You’ll come to see, feel and appreciate Papa in all his wacky warmth, and I can’t wait to sit with you and talk about how silly, goofy, and absolutely lovable he is… at times.
The day went by quickly (like most days with you). We went to see both grandfathers and came home for a quiet dinner and evening. Papa put you to sleep (like he does on most nights), and I spent the time alone in the living room thanking God that He gave me a partner who is so absolutely, undoubtedly, head-over-heels in love with both of us.
Love always,
Mama
