Good luck on the race! I hope you are able to savor that moment when you and Emily get out of the car and...that's it. Just get out of the car and shut the door and walk away. It's a milestone.
It took my wife and I years to realize this..our son, now six, has been an incredible blessing and has taught us much about ‘me time.’ Well, my wife is pregnant now and soon we’ll say hello to our second which means, me time will become illusion again. This is a nice reminder of preparation and valuing what we have right now as we plan and prep for the future.
Losing ‘me time’ was something I really struggled with when I first became a dad. I tried to cling onto it for so long and it created tension and frustration, but I soon came to realise that this new existence as a dad was so fulfilling in itself. In fact my Friday post is all about that.
It’s nice to hear from other dads though who are a bit further ahead in their parenting journeys than me about this kind of stuff. I’m working hard on trying to be more conscious and in the present moment to enjoy the times I’ll have with my kids when they’re this young.
