Daddy Has To Become Mommy

On a daily basis we are coming across things that mommy has always done and that daddy has to now. This evening was no different, except that it was on a much larger scale.

Daddy, who is not feeling well himself and cannot tolerate smells at all, was sitting on the couch with Rebekah when all of a sudden Rebekah began to throw up. And not just a little spit up but quarts and quarts over and over again. Like usual, daddy instantly shouted out "Mommy, come quick!" and then it hit him - she can't. And sometime all too soon she won't be able to come at all.

Daddy told Rebekah to sit still and ran and got towels, dozens of them it seemed. Mommy did make it over and cleaned and cleaned with the supplies that daddy was able to get for her. And then, at mommy's direction, daddy headed off to the bathtub to start drawing a bath. During the soaking of Rebekah it hit him that he cannot remember ever giving her a bath before as that has always been a mommy/girls kind of thing and lately mommy has been teaching them to shower.

Of course all the mommies out there are laughing out loud at daddy, but from his point of view its very scary.
