Jack’s preschool class had a breakfast a couple of weeks ago to celebrate moms and dads. Jack didn’t think Bert was going to make it b/c of work but he surprised him and showed up. Jack’s face lit up when he realized his daddy was coming! They preformed a little song for us and gave us some gifts, a heart pin with glued on buttons for me and a picture frame with nuts and bolts for dad. However, my favorite part was the little cards they made us. The teacher had asked the children a series of questions about their mom and dad and wrote down the answers for them. We were cracking up at some of the other kids answers to the questions like “How old is your mom?” 99 years old was one little girls answer. I remember the year my niece did this she said her daddy LOVED ice skating?! what? Anyways, in true Jack fashion he was right on target for all the answers. Here are his answers for his dad:
My daddy is: 33 years old
My daddy’s favorite food is: steak
My daddy likes to: go hiking with me in the mountains
I love it when my daddy: tickles me
My daddy is good at: tennis
My daddy likes it when: we go camping
My daddy is great because: he works:)
I love that last answer. I try really hard for Jack to understand how hard his father works and that is why I am able to stay at home with him. I am so very glad that it is sinking in. I have to say I am so proud that Bert is our boys daddy. I can’t think of a better role model for them. Jack has become so adoring of Bert. They truly do enjoy each others company and love spending time together. When he gets home at night, no matter how bad traffic has been or what his day held, he gets down on the floor and lets them jump all over him. Welles gets in on the action as well now. I have to admit I still have twinges of desire for a girl, until I see the joy in Bert’s face in raising these little men and I realize there is nothing more I could want.
