Dear Lily: A good weekend
It’s been a while since I wrote my dear…
I just wanted to say that I had a great time with you this past weekend. Your mom was sick and in bed so it was just you and I for the most part…
The weather was unseasonably warm at about 27C on Saturday and we did the following:
- You slept in a bit late which is always appreciated
- After your bottle we listened to music, danced and built towers out of your big blocks. Actually I built towers, and you knocked them over and laughed…ya jerk
(And I can call you that because by the time you are reading this you are old enough to know that in this case, it’s meant in jest) - We went to your swimming classes…you seem to enjoy the water, and your favourite game was motor boat… You even liked the part where you get dunked.
- We sat on the sidewalk and drew with your sidewalk chalk.
- We ran up and down the hill in the back yard and picked flowers.
- We sat on the sidewalk and ate a Popsicle together while I drew you pictures of cats and doggies…
- You watched a couple episodes of “Super Why” while I rested on the couch, because you’re so full of energy and I am old and can’t keep up
- We went for a walk, but quickly retreated due to the oncoming storm front!
- We watched the storm from the kitchen and then the front porch, you loved every minute of it! And this makes me very happy, because I love storms too!
It was a very good day…
Sunday, a bit cooler and wet so we stayed inside, mommy was still sick so it was us again for much of the day…
- We made googley eye glasses for you out of construction paper and tape and a pair of sun glasses, you were quite impressed…as were mommy and me…
- I made you a paper crown and you pretty much tore it apart with your teeth, but at least you had fun.
- We made more towers out of your blocks, and again you knocked them down…
- We jumped on the bed for a long time…and you hid under a pile of pillows…
- We watched our neighbour raking leaves….
- We danced…you are such a good dancer.
- You put make-up on your eyes and mouth like mom does, except you used markers…It was pretty awesome…
This may not seem all that exciting now, but I just wanted to say that I had a lot of fun with you this weekend…
I love being your dad…you make every single day better…
