Happy Father's Day-- one day late. I certainly see the importance of the day but this weekend, the Wangs were away. Last night I spent my time playing catch up--doing my duty of laundry, groceries and dinner. Usually Ching would help me, but you know...it was Father's Day. I let him camp out with some sort of dessert, the Ipad and ESPN.
I know I am a snarky woman (the best kind) with regards to Ching and how we both parent our girls. But the truth is, if he didn't do such a good job, I wouldn't be snarky. I would be pissy and unhappy..and not at all funny. I understand how much Ching and I truly co-parent. (Most days) my life is full. There are so many instances of a good laugh or just moments when I draw my breath in and appreciate my family.
When Ching was told he was going to be a dad, he bought every book about becoming the expectant father. He would voraciously read...and every now and then, his learning would be too blatant. There was one instance when he came out with the book in front of him while telling me that I was attractive. While I thanked him (cautiously), I would later look up the chapter that he was reading. It was about understanding and telling the expectant mom how beautiful she was (because she may not feel...Christ...you know). He was truly trying in the best way that he knew how. I can't imagine if his reference books had what he likes best...maps. I don't want to think about that.
I want to focus on what Ching does so well...and how JCW kind of lacks (now and then).
Ching is the swaddling champ. He could wrap both girls in amazing speed like he had been a delivery nurse for 20 nurse. I was always afraid and was too timid. His ability was so good that I felt like I should buy him those comfy nurse shoes.
Ching will get the girls away from the t.v. When the weather is below zero, he will get them to an indoor playground...good weather, an outdoor (one). Library. lessons, play dates...Ching Wang is a champ. Apparently I am a champ when it comes to working the remote and On Demand.
Ching will work and complete any homework with focus. The Wang family focus is all Wang...unfortunately there is no Carlson-Wang with the focus. Good Lord, as soon as Laurel completes question 2 of 5, I give her some sort of Nutter Butter covered in chocolate.
Ching doesn't read my blog... my appreciation was willed on to him (no, not with that) but with some sort of bacon covered ground beef goodness.
My girls have such a good dad...really...there is no eye roll from JCW.
