Tag Team Parenting

From the minute Logan was born Kyle and I have been a parenting team. Actually before he was born. When we took the baby basics class at the hospital we diapered, bathed, and swaddled the doll together. That's pretty much how things have gone for the past 14 months. When I was in the hospital my cousin joked with me she never knew nursing was a team sport when she found Kyle positioning Logan on the boob. I am used to Kyle always being there. Today I went to my BFF's kid's birthday party sans the husband. Oh how I missed him. 2 of my other peeps were there with their kids and hubbies in tow. Oh how I envied them. I am not used to trying to feed myself and Logan without a high chair without that extra pair of hands. And nothing prepared me for the bath of red icing Logan gave not only himself, but me (note to self: NEVER have an Elmo themed birthday party!). Before I had even left BFF's house I was on the phone with my mother. Multiple times I have heard my mother and others say that Kyle is the best dad they've ever seen. I used to kind of get offended (especially when my mother was saying this the day I went through 14 hours of labor--what am I, chopped liver?), but now I just consider myself lucky. Especially since I've already told him his calendar should be cleared for the 2 parties we've got next week.
