You meet, you’re infatuated, you’re in love, you get married. And then you get pregnant, and now the man beside you steps up in ways that you could not have foreseen. He loves you and your little one in ways you couldn’t have imagined.
Here are a few reasons we agree with you…
DAD is the MAN!
- He is not afraid to try something new~ From FOOD to ADVENTURE he often encourages the family to try a new restaurant, go find frogs outside, or build the ultimate tree house in the backyard. As a result, your little one is braver and sometimes more adventurous.
- He teaches new things~ He uses those new adventures to TEACH your little one new things. From teaching video games to what different types of screws are called, Dad helps teach your child during their adventures in helping Dad in and around the house.
- He Respects you and your child~ Dad in all his handsomeness teaches your little one how they should be treated by others out in the world. By respecting, listening, talking, and playing, Dad helps mini-me understand that they deserve respect from other people too.
- He knows how to turn tears to laughter~ Though Mama often provides the shoulder and the kind word, Dad can find the perfect words to turn a sad or scary situation into a chuckle and a hug. Which can be just as supportive and helpful.
- He protects~ Now we have all experienced mama bear emotions, and Dad comes with his own set of tools too! Whether he is slipping you a twenty-dollar bill as an adult, chasing off boyfriends in your tweens and teens, building the crib, or he’s helping you buy the safest car available. Dad protects in so many practical ways.
