Dad of the Year Award

I've always known that Justin is a wonderful father, but a few weeks ago he really went above and beyond. I was shopping for couches with Ezra and Lucy when I noticed that we no longer had the ONE LAST binky from the hospital. Lucy insists on using the hospital binkies because they are green, and softer and smell like vanilla. I have bought other Soothie binks in pink and green, but she knows the difference... big time! I knew we either lost in at IKEA or the Draper RCWilley - only the two largest stores in the valley. So I was feeling a bit worried that we were being forced into prematurely weening Lucy from the binky. My blood pressure was starting to rise just thinking about the terrible nights and nap times ahead of me. Well, Justin said he would call the hospital and ask about where to get the exact same binkies. A little while later he said that he had to run an errand and that he'd be spending some quality time with Lucy. What? That's odd. Usually he takes the boys places but not little Lu. He said as he went out the door, "We're just going to go spend a little time at Lucy's birthplace." 

Well, it turns out that he went to the hospital and the nurses gave him 3 binkies! They were so nice. Justin asked to pay and they said, "That's okay... but you should have brought us some chocolate!" I am still planning on taking the nurses some chocolate. They saved the day... and so did Justin!
