First Daddy/Daughter Date

My dad regularly took me on "dates" and so when I finally had a girl one of my first thoughts was that Tim would be able to do this with her.

It has finally arrived you guys.

I am so excited for her.

running....

i ran away from my children today.

i ran all the way down to the park, seven houses away.

i ran as fast as i could

one found me

i told him i needed some space

i don't think he got it

oh well

i did, though, so i ran away

it's good to run away even if it's only for five minutes

you should try it someday.

Ry' isms

"I had a nightmare daddy and the dream catcher didn't catch it. And besides Cameron nor Aidan are sleeping with me."
(I kid you not about the "nor" part)

"Speaking of ginger bread, it is gingerbread!!" (he LOVES to say "speaking of...")



Me: Ry, what do you have in your pockets?

Ry pulls his hands out and says

Ry: Nothing

Me: Come here Ry, let me look in your pockets.

----He's got two peanut butter cookies stashed in there

Me:Ry, why did you tell me you didn't have anything in your pockets?

Ry: I don't know mom, they just disappeared in there!!

LATER ON THAT DAY:

Me: Riley, what do you have in your pockets?

Ry: nothing

Me: (exasperated) Riley?!

Ry: What? How do you know I have something in my pockets?

Me: Because moms know everything (and you've also kept your hand in that one pocket for the past five minutes)

Ry: Ok, I'm gonna be in trouble

Me: Lets see it little man.

-----He pulls out half a hershey bar.

He looks at me with those big beautiful eyes and says

Ry: Mom i keep forgetting just like Boppa (kids nickname for my dad)

Me: What do you mean "forgetting just like Boppa?"

Ry: Like when he always "just forgets" to put on his seatbelt.

Me: Oh I see. (Thanks Dad for being the example, appreciate it!)
