It's interesting to see what kind of parents we have turned out to be compared to the parents I thought we would be. Not that we have that much experience, yet, but I think we've done okay so far. We usually take turns doing things for our little one, although I probably do a bit more, but the hubs is starting to catch up and do more things with the little one. One of the things that both of us dislike doing, though, is putting him to bed. I don't know why we both dislike it so much, because it usually takes less than 5 minutes and all it entails is reading a book or two and rocking/singing to him for a few minutes. Since we both don't like it, though, we've decided to leave it to chance and play rock, paper, scissors to see who loses and has to put him to bed. Definitely not a parenting style I ever saw us using, but it'll work for now! I'll be sure to tell our little one some day how much we enjoy spending every waking moment with him, though. :)
However, if Sheldon Cooper has taught us anything, the hubs and I know each other too well, so I guess we'll have to learn how to play
rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock. This would be fitting, too, since we sing Soft Kitty to our little one a few times a day. I can't wait to explain to him down the road that his favorite lullaby is from a sitcom.
