I grew up with pretty much the best dad ever. As an adult, I am even closer to my dad and love him to pieces and hope that Abigail and Larry have the same kind of close relationship someday.
For now, Larry is the best Baba that Abigail could ask for.
He is almost always the person to hear her calls in the morning and get her out of her crib.He starts her day with a dry diaper, a hot cup of milk, and some cuddling/reading/playtime. He makes her a hot breakfast every morning.He took 3 months off of work to take care of her.He allows her to use his ipod to watch her favorite farm animals video.He teaches her to sing and encourages her to explore playing the piano (with her hands, feet, butt...)He pushes her in her swing when it is 95 degrees outside just because she said "please"He pushes her in the jogging stroller so that she can enjoy being outside when he runs.When we are eating a meal, he will give her his food if she already ate all of hers and wants more.He makes her laugh a hundred times per day.He isn't afraid to get on the floor and play with her.
Before he goes to bed at night, he sneaks into her room to watch her sleep.She has him wrapped around her little fingers and he adores her completely!Larry is an amazing father and I can't imagine not having him on my team for this run as parents!
Erin, this is a beautiful tribute to Larry. Happy day to you all!
