Why I love my husband - Exhibit A:

We live the books we read to our kids - seriously.

We’re walking through the airport on our trip to New Orleans with another couple - NO kids. We stop to eat. I look over at him and he’s looking REALLY full. I ask if he’s feeling ok. His reply?

“I’d better stop now or I’ll be just like Fancy Nancy.”

We’re eating supper. Our 2 year old daughter doesn’t want to try something. His response?

“Remember how Sam I Am didn’t want to eat the green eggs and ham, but then he finally tried them and he liked them?

How could I NOT love a man who publicly and proudly refers to Fancy Nancy in an adult setting and brings up Green Eggs and Ham at random moments? When I hear other moms complaining about dads not doing enough with their kids, I keep my mouth shut but I know how lucky I am…….our kids know too.

***The Fancy Nancy book I’m referring to is “Fancy Nancy At the Museum” (an I Can Read book) - it’s about Nancy on her class trip to the museum where she eats too much for lunch and gets sick on the bus…….our 2 year old LOVES Fancy Nancy - who doesn’t?
