"As far as dads go, Emmett couldn&amp;#039;t have gotten a better one.  Rory loves spending time with Emmett. He&amp;#039;ll gladly lie on the floor and shake rattles and toss yogurt containers in the air to keep Emmett entertained. He&amp;#039;s also happy to strap Emmett in the jogging stroller and go for a run when I need an hour of quiet time. And regardless of how hectic things get at work, Rory&amp;#039;s always home by 8:00 to give Emmett his last bottle, bathe him, read stories, and put him to bed.  Rory&amp;#039;s definitely more involved than lots of dads I know, but there&amp;#039;s one tiny down-side. He&amp;#039;s also more sensitive to his baby&amp;#039;s needs than other dads.  So when Emmett wakes up at midnight and starts crying, Rory wants to rush in and rub his back or roll him over or pick him up and rock him back to sleep. And I have to be the one to say, &amp;quot;If you don&amp;#039;t let him cry and figure out how to fall back asleep, he&amp;#039;s never going to figure it out.&amp;quot; And Rory was the one who told the doctor we should go in for a check-up to &amp;quot;make sure&amp;quot; Emmett&amp;#039;s cold was just a cold.  Not that I ever thought Rory would be a, &amp;quot;Whoa! Baby&amp;#039;s pooping! Save us, Mommy!&amp;quot; kind of dad. I&amp;#039;m just pleasantly surprised by how extra-involved he is.  How involved was your dad when you were a baby? And how involved is your husband now?  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
