Women get a lot of hype about being “Supermoms”, but I’m pretty sure I’m married to a “Superdad”. This is what I saw when I came back from cleaning up Annika’s bath paraphernalia. And yes, Jonathan was reading a story out loud to Annika, not just looking at the book with her. . .
Sometimes people ask how Annika is handling her new role as Munchkin-in-Chief. The answer is, she has slowly become more comfortable. A few days after the babies came home from the hospital, this conversation occurred:
Jenelle: Annika, do you like the babies?
Annika: No. All done. Babies go home.
Since then, things have improved dramatically. Now, Annika gives the babies hugs and kisses, stands an inch from their faces and says hello, and is always eager to help. Sometimes her help is even helpful.
Hopefully, they can maintain this relationship for at least the next 17 years or so.
