The Ways in which you rock

you rock because:

1. you get up at  7 every morning to hang out and help out with kids, sure i have been up since 5, but you dont go to work until 830, so you really dont need to be up playing trains with your son, holding your daughter in your lap at 7 so I can take a shower or race to the store.

2. the way you come home at 5 every day to help out. it is the double shift for fathers, work hard all day to provide, work even more to raise your children/

3. how you help bathe and put charlie to sleep.

4. while we are on topic of charlie and sleep, you rock because you never once have said, lets let him cry it out. you have known that it is our job to guide him into sleep, and now at over 2 years he asks to go to sleep, loves to nap, and has learned that sleep is a safe and wondrous thing.

5. The way you crawl into your sons bed when he calls for you at 2-3 in the am, and sleep the last 2 hours of his night cuddled up with him

6. because you became a vegetarian a year ago

7. because you make me laugh, love me, and put up with my more cranky moments

8. because you are playful, funny, and have the same dreams I do for raising a family and moving through life.

9. because you love my family and treat them as if they are your family.

10. because you love all people and want nothing more than peace and justice for our world.

11. because you are always on the just side of politics.

12. because you are you with all of your zest for life, excitement for nature, and love for your children.

13. Most importantly because you are supportive of me spending some dough to work out!

LOVE YOU MAN!
