I have the best husband Expand / Collapse

Do I have the best husband, or what?

Yesterday when we got home from town, our 2-year-old daughter puked all over herself.  She was still in the van, so it got all over her, her carseat, her blanket...but remarkably, not on the van interior itself.  I had bought a lot of shrubs and bushes to plant in our yard, and really wanted to do it last night because I didn't know when else I'd have time.  My husband took care of our little girl for almost two hours while I worked out in the yard.  They played outside for a little while, but then she wanted to go inside (a sure indicator that she's not feeling well!  She loves to be outside.)  She vomited three or four more times, wouldn't eat or drink anything.  He hosed off the carseat, bathed her twice, ran two loads of laundry, and finally put her to bed.  Even after I came in the house, he looked after her because then the baby needed more attention, so I looked after him.  My daughter is very much "daddy's girl", so she would rather have him look after her than me, given the choice.  Luckily, her bug seemed to last only about 4-5 hours, and she was in bed even earlier than usual. 

He's such a great daddy.  Not even a word of comlaint.  The thing about this is that it is not unusual behaviour for him.  It's totally in character.  I couldn't ask for a better husband and father for our kids.
