The fact that my family works across the street from my house is a huge blessing. At any given time, my mom, dad, or brother can be at my house in less than one minute to help me with anything. It also means that I get taken to lunch a lot (BONUS!) Well on this particular Friday past, my dad called and offered to watch Hayden while I walk at the park right outside our house. It's a beautiful park with a quarter mile walking track. Um, yes, please! I am desperate to get back to my pre-baby body, and being as it's summer in the hottest state in the U.S., walking is primarily an early morning or late evening event; and early mornings and late evenings can be hard to get going sometimes with the things mommies/wives must accomplish for their families. You really have to make time for yourself. When my dad called with his offer, I was a little surprised! In a great way! He is very good with his grandbaby and is always holding her and feeding her, but he knows my mom or I is in yelling distance should he need us. But with this-- it was all him. Whoa! Papa all on his own! So he came over and watched her for about half an hour while I walked a mile and a half. The rain was coming in and I figured Hayden would be getting hungry soon. When I walked in the door, they were laid out watching SportsCenter. It reminded me of a picture I have of me and my dad laying on the floor watching football together circa 1979. Some things never change. Good job, Dad. You are an awesome grandpa!!
