On Facebook, a friend of mine posted a series of incomplete phrases that she had her son complete about his daddy. I thought something like that would be more meaningful to Brian than just having Addie draw him another picture in his card.
Here are Addie's thoughts on Daddy.
My daddy is: Daddy (now that we have established that....)
My daddy likes to wear: clothes (and we are so thankful for that)
He loves to eat: breakfast (Brian laughed... any meal will suit him just fine)
He is smart because he knows: what to do (yes, I agree)
My dad works hard at: work (I have been telling her that since she was an infant and we would wave goodbye to him as he drove off to work)
Daddy always tells me: I love you (yes, he does)
It makes my dad happy when I: obey (it makes Mommy happy, too)
If he could go on a trip, he would go: to Sea World (we had Sea World on the brain at the time)
I really love it when my dad: smiles (he does have a beautiful smile)
If I could give my dad anything it would be: breakfast (Brian laughed really hard at this one.... and then asked why she was so stuck on giving him breakfast)
My favorite thing about my dad is: hugging (sigh.... what can I say to that....)
Precious.
ReplyDeleteI saw a book for recording children's birthday celebrations and for each year there was a section like this that the parents or child could fill in each year. I always thought that could be a fun way to see how they grew up. I love that these questions about her daddy, sweet memories. And clearly she thinks he needs to eat more in the morning!! ha ha!!
Chrissie, your comments always bring a smile to my face :)
