Daddy's day #2

Happy Daddy's Day to the best daddy in the whole world. Look what I made for him!

 

We're buddies!

First day of preschool

I started a new school today. My teachers are Miss Nicole and Miss Jess. I like them. I also got new friends. We played a lot and I got to nap on these things called cots. The best part was when I woke up mommy and daddy came back for me. Oh, I didn't like lunch.

Daddy had a big day too. It was his birthday today! Happy birthday to my favorite daddy!! I love you!

Silly Sunday

Me and daddy love being silly.

Screaming art

Today we went painting. I made three magnets. One was Minnie, one was Mickey and an octopus. We were having a great time until daddy yelled at me not to eat the paint. It was so loud I got startled and started crying. Then I didn't want to paint anymore. A few hours later, I'm not over it. I keep saying, "daddy yelled." I may never forget this. On the plus side, daddy helped paint the rest of my magnets and they look great on our fridge.

Happy painter.

Stand back and watch how this is done.

Cheese yourself!

5K Push Race

Daddy and me ran our first 5K together today. Well, daddy ran, I just got pushed. There were so many people running it was crazy. We went so fast I could feel the wind in my curls.

Sitting through the whole race was
tough. Time to carb reload.

Me and daddy crossing the finish line. Go Hutters go!

Hookie and Growls Galore

Now that I'm writing again, I have a lot to catch you up on. My friend Yael taught me how to jump on a trampoline! I got my first real face painting. I picked an Elmo in a bathtub--two of my favorite things! I got to go swimming in two different pools, one time with floaties and one time without! Without floaties is so much better. I got my first tricycle, but I couldn't reach both pedals, even with mommy taping sponges to the pedals to make the space between the pedals and my legs smaller. Guess I'll have to wait to grow a little bit. Mommy and I played hookie (that means didn't go to work or school) last Friday. Instead we went to the children's museum and walked around Boston and went on a merry-go-round and played in sprinklers and eat yummy North End cookies. It was the best day ever!! Then on Sunday we celebrated Daddy's Day. Have I told you I have the best daddy in the world? He taught me how to do knuckles and how to swim and I love when he tries to scare me by growling. It doesn't scare me. It makes me laugh. That's why I started saying "Daddy so silly." I love you daddy!!! Extra hugs and wet kisses coming your way.

Weeee!

Stop taking my pool toys!

Playing on the Greenway.

Face painting success!

Face painting is exhausting stuff.

Happy Daddy

Happy (I'm still working on saying birthday) Daddy!! Mommy says you are three and seven. I don't know how you can be two numbers. I do know how yummy ice cream cake is and how distracting (that means take attention away) it can be. I'm sorry I didn't look up for your picture, but I really wanted the cake on the table.

That cake down there looks good.

Daddy-Daughter weekend

Mommy went away this weekend so it was just me and daddy today. We took the train to the Museum of Science and I got to run around a lot. A few times I got overwhelmed and dropped down to the floor, cried and wailed my arms. But, other than that, it was a lot of fun.

One thing I noticed today is daddy feeds me a lot differently than mommy. Mommy feeds me yogurt, fruit and milk for breakfast. With daddy I just get a little fruit and milk. For lunch mommy gives me tomatoes and pasta and chicken and a cheese stick. Daddy gives me animal crackers and milk. I'm really hungry. I hope mommy comes home soon.

Sad droid daddy

I broke daddy's phone today. I'm not exactly sure how I did it. One minute I was playing with it and the next there was a big crack across the whole screen. I was really scared daddy was going to be so mad at me. When he went to take a look at his phone I put on a really big smile and all night I've been giving him lots of kisses so he wouldn't be too mad at me. So far it seems to be working. Phew!

I'm sorry I broke your phone daddy.
How can you stay mad at this face?

Sunday swinging

One of my favorite things to do is go swinging with daddy. We tried out a new tire swing this weekend. I was a little embarrassed because my dress kept flying up and there were boys at the park. Daddy says not to worry. By the time he lets me date, when I'm 30, they will forget.

Daddy's day

Today is Daddy's Day! I have the best daddy in the whole wide WORLD! Nobody else throws me over their shoulder and makes me giggle or flies me around like I'm an airplane making funny sounds or rocks me to bed like my daddy. I love you. Hugs and wet kisses!

Me and my daddy! 

Da-da's birthday

Today is daddy's birthday! Yeahhhh! I can't wait to go out and celebrate tonight. I was too excited to wait to give daddy his birthday present today, so I gave it to him on Friday. Want to know what it is? Well, I've been working on saying da-da out loud and I finally did it. It's my first official word. Now I go around saying da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da all day. Daddy laughs a lot and teases mommy that I'm not saying ma-ma. It's just so much harder to get ma-ma out. In honor of daddy's birthday, here are some of my favorite photos of me and daddy.

One of my favorite things to do
is fall asleep on daddy.

Everyone tells me I look like my daddy.
I don't have a beard so I don't see it.

One of our very first photos together.

Selfie Sunday 11

Daddy photo bombed my selfie with bunny ears. Not cool daddy.

No Santa sighting

I waited up all night for Santa but he never came. I wonder if it is because we don’t have a chimney. Or maybe he was in Brookline between 2 and 6 a.m. and couldn’t park his reindeer on the street and he knows mommy’s no-animals-in-the house policy. Yeah, that’s probably what happened. He didn’t want to get a parking ticket because then he wouldn’t be jolly. When daddy gets parking tickets he is not jolly at all. Oh well, maybe next year. I’m headed to bed. I want to be well rested for Chinese food later.

Mo Millions

Mommy taught me about gambling today. We bought a few Mega Millions tickets. All we have to do is match six numbers and we can win! It seems pretty simple to me. The man on the TV said the jackpot is $425 million. That’s a lot of formula! Mommy let me pick some of the numbers so I know we’re going to win. I’m going to go take a quick nap now, so I can be up when the numbers are called. I’m so excited!

Taking a quick nap before we win Mega Millions!

PS: Happy birthday great aunt Eleanor!

Daddy and dancing

Occasionally, when I’m sad, daddy will dance around the room with me. It always cheers me up. Sometimes we slow dance and do what he calls a waltz. Other times he does this weird thing where he lifts up his knees and bounces around in circles. Right now I don’t mind it – it actually makes me smile – but if he starts to do it in front of any of my friends I’ll be mortified!!! I begged mommy not to share any pictures of us dancing, so instead, you get a cute selfie of me.
