A funk, a bump, and one Hero

We all know everyone has good days and bad days, and today Randy had a bad day. Nothing in particular made it a bad day for him, but he was in a funk when he got home nonetheless. Ethan refused to nap this afternoon and was acting like a total spaz. Jake also did not take an afternoon nap and wanted me to hold him non-stop. When Randy got home Jake greeted him with a smile, but (as usual) when Randy took Jake from me he arched his back and cried, trying to resist being taken from his beloved Mommy :) OK, so I had to set the mood before I could accurately describe what a wonderful father Randy is. He patiently calmed Jake down and got him happy enough to be released on the floor to play. All the while Ethan was pushing Randy in the rocking chair, a little too fast and choppy to be comfortable. Just as Randy asked him to stop, Ethan slipped on some clutter on the floor and landed forehead first into the end table. Randy was around the chair and had scooped Ethan up so fast it could only be measured in light-speed. In no time the incident was forgotten- Daddy had made it all better with a cup of milk and some calm words. It is amazing to see someone be able to get completely out of their head to do what is necessary, and not only necessary, but, what is a priority to them. Bad day or not, Randy is always there for us and is always an amazing Dad. Everytime I see him with our boys I remember one of the many reasons why I married him.
