Growing up I had an equally solid relationship with both of my parents and I knew to try my luck with mom on some things, and dad on others. I think it's the notion that one parent is the "good cop" that will let their kid get away with anything that I shy away from. I hope LLC will view Chris and me as equals.
Still, there is no denying that Chris has a real soft spot for LLC. He loves to "get in her grill" and give her a cuddle, play ball with her, feed her and even attend to her diaper productions. Last night he arrived home after her bed-time and obviously felt cheated of time with his little lady. Soon after he disappeared and I when I went to track him down I found him cuddling her on the futon in her bedroom. This is not the first time he's gone down that route, to which my regular response is, "If she wakes, you are dealing with it!! Put her back in bed now!!!"
But can I really complain? No. (Well, maybe a bit). But it is lovely to see him so loved up and proud of his daughter.
Also, huge congrats to our friends Family G, who just became parents for the second time today! They now have a daughter and a son so in time will be able to comment on gender dynamics in the family!!
