The title of the post might sound filmy, but this is one of the best post (per me) I have written. :-)
Whenever I see Fizz n Z together I can't help but look with a complete
'Awwwww' and feel all blessed. I have written about them on and off but
nothing exclusively on their bond (which is something special). I keep
reading a lot of parenting blogs and
I loved one such post by Mama-Mia that I decided to do my perspective on Fizz and Fatherhood.
Fizz has always been quiet comfortable with handling kids, before Z came
in our lives... Fizz has been a favorite of kids... Be it with his own
nieces and nephew or my nephew. Zefan (my nephew) shares a closer bond
with Fizz, so much so that he addresses Fizz with his pet name... (Don't
ask me what that is...) Before Z came into our lives Fizz was not very
comfortable handling small babies though.

Things took a 360 degrees change when Z was born. Its said when a child
is born a mother is born. In our case a Father and a Mother were born.
Being a new 1st time mom I was apprehensive taking care of Z in the
initial weeks, but Fizz became the perfect dad that he is from Day 1. He
didn't make me think for a single second that Z was just my
responsibility. For me, Fizz was the perfect hands on Daddy. I started
respecting/loving Fizz even more in the weeks post Z was born. Night
time Feeds became chatting (read gossip) sessions, Z's colic cries meant
Fizz taking Z in his lap and roaming around till she fell asleep, he
consumed all his paternity leaves and Work From Home to be with us.
When we shifted to Bangalore (Z was 4 months old). He made sure he was
there with both of us. I used to complain to Fizz constantly that I
don't know why Z is crying, why she's not taking her feed, how to start
solids... I used to tell him "I'm good for nothing, I don't know
anything." He just told me "no one can give you a Guide on parenting, we
have to bring Z up the way we want to."
When we enrolled Z for her first Mommy-Toddler program, Fizz made me
shift the classes from Friday to Saturday just to make sure he comes
along and participates. There hasn't been a single doctor visit where
Fizz hasn't accompanied me.
Fizz has now become a pro (he always was actually). He bathes Z, changes
her diaper (faster than I do), makes her get ready, feeds her
breakfast, makes her meals (when he gets time), makes her go to sleep at
night... He sure is a better parent and I don't have any second
thoughts on that.
Fizz and Z share an awesome bond. Fizz has instructed me "you wanna
discipline Z do it, lemme spoil her". Z goes "Da-Da-Da-Da" the moment
our doorbell rings in the evening. He doesn't leave her for a second
once he's back from work. When we go out to a restaurant or a mall Z
tags on to Pa.
I love seeing the both of them together and love the way they are so happy in each other's company Mash'Allah.
