Daddy did it too!

There is nothing more reassuring than having someone to share your shortcomings and victories with. My husband is a modern day superman. You measure babies growth and size in percentiles. For example, if  Isaac is in the 60th percentile of weight, then 40% of babies weigh more than him. Well my husband is in the 95th percentile of work ethic and maybe 5 percent of the population works harder than he does. Or said another way,  he works harder than 95 percent of the population. He is always looking for ways to improve our lives or make things more efficient. I, on the other hand am not in the 95th percentile for work ethic. But I try. When Isaac and mommy are sleeping, my husband uses this time to do laundry, pay bills, do dishes, organize the house. In other words, he is a go - go - go-er. He seems to have things under control all of the time. But the other morning, when mommy woke up, daddy gave mommy a sheepish grin, and said... "Daddy did it too." I asked him, "Daddy did what?". He replied, "Daddy burnt the pacifiers too.". Oh! So it's not just mommy who makes mistakes! We have since made a third trip to the store to buy 8 more pacifiers, since Isaac is a little sucking machine, the pacifiers are a must. It is just nice to know that when you mess up, you have someone to laugh it off with. Or that when you "burn the pacifiers", you are not the only one. Sometimes, the best part of parenting is the stumbles you take together as mom and dad.
