100 Days of Rhys

Official: it’s my 💯th day of being Rhys’ dad.

Shall we party?

In a lot of East Asian cultures, 100 days of life was kind of a big deal. 🗾 With poverty, food scarcity, and illness being commonplace, parents couldn’t take survival for granted.

I’ve had a considerably easier time with Rhys than my ancestors over on that side of the world would’ve had but I’m thankful all the same.

It’s impossible to say something that hasn’t already been said by any given new dad. All the stuff you usually hear is accurate. It’s beautiful and it changes everything. 💚 My heart has been so full and alive the past 100 days. Tummy time, skin to skin, favorite toys, wrestling with the cloth wrap, fluent gibberish, bathtime- I’ve been loving it all.

One of the best parts of my life right now is that every 3-4 hours I have to stop whatever I’m doing and go play. 🤾🏽‍♂️ It makes the world much lighter. What a way to live.

Now... how to celebrate? 🥟 Soup dumplings? 🍱 K-BBQ? 🍲 Pho noodles for a long life??
