I'm so glad when Daddy comes home

.... I really am. He's the fun parent. I'm the boring parent. I accept that. Cameron is hilarious. He's adventurous. He is everything I want to be and am usually not. I'm the anxiety-ridden, list-making wrangler of children who gets stressed when the house is littered with toys. I make dinner and kiss owies and make the kids clean up their messes but I forget to just embrace the moment and go with it- which is where Daddy comes in. He keeps it real. He throws them up high in the air and lets them hold bugs and climb trees. When Sunshine wants to play with the electrical outlet, he doesn't intervene. "She'll learn once she gets shocked." Daddy is so much fun!

Daddy is also the next best thing to a carnival ride. Pardon my really annoying, loud voice in the first video.  Maybe just put it on mute :)



This is weak sauce compared to how fast Cam can get him spinning when he isn't holding a Camera


Scaling Mount Daddy


And finally, Cameron and the cuties from our babysitting swap/ Joy school, telling knock knock jokes and screaming.

That is awesome! My kids just adore their father as well. It's such a great feeling knowing that I did pick the right man to be the father of my babies. :) I loved your giggle in the first one- it actually cracked me up! HAHAHA!

My hubby plays with our baby the same way. It is great to watch. I think your just a mom Rory, I am the same way, I clean and mend and do most of the scolding. Daddy is the fun one, but it was that way when I was a kid too. Enjoy those great kids of yours and the wonderful husband you have to help you with them.

the one of Apolo scaling mount daddy is so cute! loved it. it's the same here, daddy gets all the fun wrestling/climbing playtime. It's nice to have that other person to keep the kids entertained when you need a moment though. :)
