Thoughts of a mother...: Moments with dad... (In celebration of fathers day...)

When I was a kid, my father told me every day, "You're the most wonderful boy in the world, and you can do anything you want to." Jan Hutchins

These go together with celebrating fathers day this past weekend. And it is just a reminder how blessed my boys are to have Michael as their dad..

As it is when the second baby comes along the older one becomes very much dad's responsibility especially around bath and bed time which makes the next few things somewhat of a special thing Michael and Jaydon shares.

Wrestling with dad on the carpet - Michael 'wrestle' with Jaydon and play with him on the carpet before we start bath en bed time... Lately when Michael asks Jaydon if he wants to wrestle, Jaydon gets this little smile on his face and goes and lie on the carpet as a sign for Michael that he wants to play.. They then roll on the floor and you just hear laughs from Jaydon.. He just loves this special play time with dad
Driving the car into the garage on dad's lap - As soon as we hear Michael is here, Jaydon runs to the garage and Michael usually waits outside for him and then Jaydon would climb in with him and gets this really big grin, as in 'look where I'm sitting mom!' and they drive the car into the garage.. It's just too cute to see Jaydon ducking under the garage door and 'running' to the car..
Playing hide-and-seek before bath time - It's like this little ritual they have where Michael goes and hide in our bedroom and Jaydon has to look for him and the other way around.. Jaydon usually squeals with delight when Michael finds him and runs back to his room to start again..
And the latest favorite for Jaydon is bed time reading with dad.. he already packs the books ready to read before he goes to bath and then can't wait to 'read' once he is in bed.. I just love hearing the laughs and noises and excited squeals from the other room.. Once they done Jaydon says 'Tata' to his books.. Really cute and just one more thing he is doing reminding us how quickly he is growing up..

And little Ethan - for him the best part is when he can sit on dad's lap when he gets home and have a few moments 'uninterrupted' time with dad.. He really is such a content little boy and just loves being close to mom or dad.. So sweet to see how he now interacts with you and he just loves when Michael plays with him and pulls faces to make him laugh..

It's so special to see the bond between dad and his boys. We are truly blessed..
