Daddy Practice

For the past two weeks, I have been attending a prenatal workout class at the YMCA. Sofia is my partner in crime. Finding a babysitter for her daughter Luna is often a challenge, so Tyson offered to watch Luna while we boogied our bellies away.
Sofia and Luna came over to our house around 12:30pm and we set Ty up with all the necessary precautions... diapers, snacks, car keys, car seat, and the baby backpack. Tyson is one of Luna's favorite people, so it was NOT hard to leave her. As we were headed out the door, we could hear Luna laughing and playing... she was obviously in very good hands.
During our class, I was thinking about Ty and what he and Luna might be doing together, also about the fact that it was his day off and he was signed up to watch a 2 year old for 2 hours. I wouldn't ever question his ability to care for Luna... he is already an amazing daddy.... I was just worried that this daddy practice might scare him in preparation of our little bundle. I was very wrong :)
We arrived home just past 3pm and we could still hear Luna laughing and playing. We walked otuside and there was Luna - naked with one foot in each dog bowl filled with water. She was having the best time and Tyson was all smiles of course. Tyson filled Sofia in with their activities... they walked to the park with Kayda and played on the swings, slide and gave sticks to the dog. They walked home (Luna in the baby backpack... wish I had a picture of that!) and immediately went outside to play in the water. When it was time to go home, Luna gave Tyson the baby backpack and begged for him to strap her in it. He walked her out to the car and tucked her in her car seat. Sofia and Luna drove off and Ty looked at me and said, "That was a lot of work!"
Two hours goes by very fast but those two are like two peas in a pod! I can't wit to see our little 2 year old with Dad.... I am sooo lucky to have a husband that loves the outdoors, loves nature and is NOT afraid to get dirty. At this point, I can't see past the newborn stage for our baby but whatever might be in store for that little baby is surely an adventure!

I don't have any pictures to share but I think Eddie took a secret video of Tyson in the baby backpack.... so there might be an update in store :)

Baby countdown: 12 weeks, 6 days
The baby is as big as: a head of cauliflower (16 inches, 2.5 lbs)
