dads are good.

{daron reading to carter sunday afternoon} 

over the weekend, carter and i both started feeling under the weather. 

i had a soar throat, carter was terribly congested. 

saturday night, carter kept waking up because he couldn't breathe well. 

eventually, daron went down to his room and held him on his chest.

after 30 minutes or so, carter was finally sound asleep. 

daron leaned him up against his big-stuffed-animal-dog at an angle to help him sleep.

this was all unbeknownst to me because i was passed out on the couch upstairs.

the next morning, daron woke up early with carter.

he fed him breakfast, played with him and woke me up the last second he had to.

(he knew i wouldn't want to miss church!)

because of him, i got an hour and a half of more sleep

and felt so much better the next day.

dads are so good...

{make that husbands, too!}

and this picture, because i want to remember this moment.

carter - "hey, look dad! i found your eyeball..."
