"Thanks for noticing!"

This post is really about something that happened with my wife, not my kids. But, being a good corporate husband is important to being a corporate dad, so I'm including it.

My wife told me that she wanted to try feeding our baby girl some sweet potatoes. I expected we'd be buying little sweet potato baby food jars at the store. I walked into the kitchen around lunch time to find my wife making the baby food from sweet potatoes she had just baked. I thought that was pretty cool, so I told her.

To my surprise, she quickly turned around, her eyes lit up, and she gave me a kiss and a hug and said, "Thanks for noticing!"

It's ironic that I used to feel like I had to do back flips in the kitchen to get her attention. I like this noticing thing.
