Happy Father’s Day! I’m writing the night before Father’s Day – Natalie and I just finished the above Dad’s Worksheet. We think he’s going to like it!
Although its only Saturday, we already have had a super fun Dad’s Day weekend! We took Elliott’s 3-month photo at Target this morning – both kids were dolls. Jordan overheard one family say “Gordito” in reference to Elliott. When I sat down, Jordan said: “I don’t know many words in Spanish but this is one I do know – Gordito. A family called Elliott Gordito”. As you might guess, we heard Gordita often in reference to Natalie in her infant years.
This afternoon, Natalie took Daddy out for ice cream – he cashed in a coupon from his birthday present. (Whoops – I think we had Daddy pay.)
Dad, I think you should get an ice cream coupon for every one of your birthdays – what do you think?
In Jordan’s family, this is known as a jacuzzi gift… meaning a gift that the giver is equally or even more glad to have given because he/she benefits too. This originates from a (birthday?) gift that Jordan’s mom one time got Jordan’s dad – yep, a jacuzzi!
Afterwards, we went to the park….
Haha – You’re a goof-a-loof Dado!
Per Natalie’s request, we all climbed aboard a train to Green Bay. It was tight quarters.
While we’re in Wisconsin, let’s pick up my favorite food – CHEESE!
Natalie and Elliott have the best dad in the whole world! He is incredibly attentive, caring, fun and loving. Natalie’s favorite activities with her Dad are: riding bikes to preschool (especially wearing the helmet!), making protein shakes, playing kitchen, tickling/rough-housing, and having dance parties (fav song of the day: Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds song… “Don’t worry, about a thing… we honestly listened to it 15 times today). Elliott’s favorite activities with his Dad are: being held (he has a cute way of just clinging to his chest), getting “bonked” on the nose and talking about guy stuff.
We are also very lucky to have two fabulous grandfathers in our lives… who raised awesome kids (if I do say so myself) and love being grandpas!
Oh, Grandpa… don’t be silly. The lion cannot escape from the cage. You have nothing to worry about.
Boo! Did I surprise you?
