Father's Day 2010
Ambree has really become a Daddy's girl the last few months. Monday mornings are the worst, after a weekend of growing clingy with Sean, she cries in the morning when she wakes up realizing that he is not home. It's pitiful. But so nice to watch her see the value in her Daddy. He really is such a great dad to Ambree.
From the time he gets home until he goes to bed, there is very rarely any down time for Sean, as he tries to take advantage of every moment with his girls. So he'll stand with her in a freshly filled, freezing wading pool while she swims around, take her on a trek to get the mail, go with her on an expedition in search of bugs, or just let her crawl all over him in the living room. The sound of the garage door closing in the afternoon means a brightly faced two year old is squealing down the hallway to hug "Daddy!"
I know statistically how important it is for Ambree to prize her Dad, and for Sean to be the main man in her life. So its such a joy to see Sean make the effort that it takes for this to happen. I think sometimes men don't know how to connect with children, maybe some women don't either, and I remember Sean seeming a little unsure during the first few months. I guess it takes a little fine tuning to find a rhythm in parenting for all of us. But Sean has it down now, and I'm so grateful.
