I always wanted kids. My wife wasn't as sure. So when we decided to start trying for a child, she began reading and absorbing information voraciously. She immersed herself in the mommy culture online and, when our daughter arrived on the scene, she hit the ground running.
She often says she's surprised how naturally it all came to her; at how well she's adapated to the role. Me? Not surprised a bit. I just knew she'd do a great job as a mom. I wouldn't have fallen as crazy stupidly in love with her if I didn't think she'd be a great mom because in my head I knew I'd be a dad one day.
She has the patience of a saint and her instincts are always better than mine. The kid adores her and I do too.
I'm so proud of her and what she does for our daughter. I'm thrilled my kid will grow up with a strong, confident and intelligent role model and I'm going to love watching the two of them as the years pass.
Happy Mother's Day, Amy. Thanks for being awesome at this (and, well almost everything).
