Now I know how to tell when you are in the presence of Super Daddy. First of all, his name is Matt. Then there is the super intuition that tells him not only what the baby needs, but when the mother really needs him too. That is when you know you are in the presence of Super, Super Daddy.
I had a tough day. My foot is not healing well, I had to harass the doctors to get any help, Ella has a bad scratch on her tummy that looks red and puffy too. Everything just takes longer when I'm tired and in pain. I finally got a person at the doctor's office and she asked me to come in right then. Samantha had just fallen asleep after a cranky morning with her new tooth obviously hurting. So I say "okay" since I am worried about the infection and go wake her up. She is already awake and goes along as sweet as can be. She was fine in the waiting room for about a half hour, but then wanted to crawl. She found people's offices and peeked around to smile at them. I think Sam was a much better alternative to whatever they were working on. Everybody smiled at her and this really hard-bitten looking middle-aged man kept waving at her to play and get her to smile. It is amazing how people respond to babies. Samantha breaks down racial and age barriers and we can talk about what we have in common. Just one of the magical things babies are capable of.
My doctor saw us just before Samantha melted down. We were out of there pretty quickly after that, and I called Matt to ask him to go out again once he got home to get my prescription. We weren't home more than a half hour when in walks Matt, arriving home about four hours earlier than usual. I knew I was having a bad day, but I didn't realize how hard I was trying to cope until I saw him. I just burst into tears and grabbed him. Super, Super daddy, and best husband in the whole world.
Samantha and I shared an apple today. I think the cool apple felt good on her gums, and the apple had tooth marks on it when she gave it back to me. Tooth marks! She seemed to enjoy the juice that was released as I bit off a piece. It was fun sharing with her. I imagine that soon I will find her spit gross, but it doesn't seem like anything now. Tooth mark!
