Hello there. I’m The Picky Apple. I don’t normally have a voice on this blog, but I read it avidly and I occasionally help out behind the scenes. I just wanted to sign on here to salute my wife. She’s an incredible mom.<\/p>\n
She and I are lucky enough to have a smart, funny, sweet, and extremely energetic little boy. He doesn’t seem to have an off switch. (I’ve checked.) We sometimes joke that I have to go back to work on Mondays just to catch my breath! All kidding aside, raising a child is no easy task. It takes only a single day of stay-at-home-daddy duty to gain a permanent appreciation for the job that she makes look so easy. What’s more, she fills The Littlest Apple’s days with fun: arts<\/a>, crafts<\/a>, cooking<\/a>, learning games<\/a>, … All the sorts of things you read about on this blog. It’s amazing.<\/p>\n As is often the case, our life as parents hasn’t traversed the path we originally expected. We have good times to be sure, but we’ve had our share of rough times. Through it all, Cara has managed to stay positive. She’s our rock.<\/p>\n Now I’ll let The Littlest Apple take over for a moment (I don’t know how you bloggers do this… my fingers are getting tired.):<\/p>\n fmmmmeoimef ew \u00c2\u00a0eweoieinnne<\/em><\/p>\n Cara clearly hasn’t started the typing classes with him yet – must be next month. Nevertheless, I’m confident that his message is clear. We love you, Mommy! Happy Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n -The Picky Apple<\/p>\n Hello there. I’m The Picky Apple.
