The Sweetest Sounds

One of the things I love most about N is how he loves.  If he loves something, he's 100% passionate about it.  If it's something he can read up on, he does.  If it's something he can learn more about, he does.  He throws himself completely into the things he loves.

That's not just hobbies or interests, it's people too.  As a mother, there is nothing sweeter than seeing your children be loved by their daddy.  With Zoe being sick this past weekend, I saw N throw himself into caring for her.  He would cuddle her on the couch.  He would take her temperature.  He would help with the medicine.  He would make her giggle and laugh when she was feeling a little better.  It was heartwarming to see the love they have for each other.

This morning was the highlight.  It was about 2:45 this morning, just about the time N's getting home from work.  I heard Zoe in her room.  I couldn't tell if it was sleepy noises or if she was crying.  I came out of our room and N looks at me and says, "I think she's crying.  I'll take care of it."

He went into her room and sure enough she was crying.  We're not sure if she got scared or had a bad dream. The way he talked to her and comforted her was one of the sweetest sounds I've ever heard.  It was the love of a good daddy.
