A Hot Summer Day with Daddy ☀️
It was one of those unbearably hot summer mornings.
Before she even had the chance to get out of bed, Daddy quietly walked into the room carrying a little breakfast tray. Fresh fruit, something light to eat… and, of course, a big baby bottle filled with cold water.
“Good girls stay hydrated,” he smiled.
She happily took a few long sips while still wrapped up in her blankets. Daddy always made sure she drank enough, especially on days like this.
Once breakfast was finished, Daddy had already prepared a nice cool bath.
The tub was filled with floating sea animals, little boats, bubbles, and plenty of toys. She spent what felt like forever giggling, splashing, and making tiny whales and turtles swim through the water while Daddy played along, laughing every time she accidentally splashed him.
After bath time, Daddy wrapped her up in the fluffiest towel before walking over to her dresser.
After a moment, he smiled.
“I found the perfect one.”
He picked out a blue diaper covered in little whales, turtles, fish, and starfish. To match, he chose a soft blue onesie.
She looked absolutely adorable.
Daddy carefully diapered her, buttoned up the onesie, kissed the top of her head…
…and less than ten minutes later, the onesie was lying on the floor.
Daddy sighed dramatically, helped her put it back on…
…only for it to end up on the floor again.
By the third time, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“I think you’ve won this battle.”
She looked up with the biggest smile.
“So… just your diaper today,” Daddy finally said. “But only if you keep drinking your water.”
She nodded immediately, reaching for her baby bottle without being asked.
The rest of the day was spent building little block towers, coloring pictures, cuddling between water breaks, and staying nice and cool.
Sometimes taking care of a little isn’t about planning something big.
Sometimes it’s simply making sure she’s comfortable, hydrated, safe… and smiling all day long.
