Mothers all over the world are celebrated on so many occasions and I just think that no celebration whatsoever could ever be rewarding enough to all the hard work and sacrifices they are making.ย โคSo, hereโs to you, wonderful beings, may you live long and get your crafty hands and minds and souls always be appreciated for their true value!
This week was so much about moms, that it only came naturally to me to think: hey, how about the fathers? Only to find out that, actually the last day of the week is going to be dedicated to the ๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฌ, ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ.

The one who wished that the baby came with the instructions booklet, so he can know, just like you, what to do whenever the baby cries, but still, figures out hilarious ways to soothe him.
The one who understands so well your exhaustion, that, at night, when the baby wakes up for breastfeeding, heโs just uncovering you and latches baby on, so that you can enjoy further your deep sleep. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ฒ ๐ง๐๐๐ซ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐๐ซโ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฌ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐๐ฎ๐ง ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ค, ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฌ.

Letโs give them all the credit for doing their best in this crazy job called parenting. ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ, ๐๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐! ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐!
