Today was also my first proper dad’s day out with Maya. Like… truly solo where I took her far away by myself.
I’ve spent loads of time with her before, but mostly at home or just pushing her around in the pram. This felt different. Like a real step forward in my journey of being a dad.
We spent the afternoon at Kevin and Ana’s. I’ll be honest — I was a bit nervous at first. But then I made this mental switch: this has to happen at some point, so might as well just roll with it.
And it turned out to be wonderful. Honestly, a flawless day. She was so cute. Loving. Smiley. Clingy at times, but who cares :) And by the end of it, I just felt really proud.
These are the good old days.
