DAD

My Wife is Pregnant I hope it's a girl but ... " a Boy is my second Choice" I want a girl because i have a boy and as soon as my son was born i began to recycle all of the lines my dad used one me.

I realize that I was blessed as a child and that my dad did and said things that that I have intentionally passed down to my son I also watched my dad do and say things to my sister that i hope to use on my little "Lucinda" When she arrives.

10 special Father son events that i have retained with Logan:

1. "Of all the Little boys in the Whole wide world your daddy loves you...The Best" (another reason why a second boy could be problematic"
2. Every Story has to begin with "once upon a time".
3. Every Story has to End with "And they all lived happily ever after".
4. Ask him questions just to get him thinking (yes i do it with my 3 year old and he can form an intelligent argument)
5. "way up in the apple tree..." (i am not finishing it because this one is special)
6. "These are Grandma's Glasses..."
7. Sometimes i just take him along for the ride.
8. Sometimes i slap my hand on his leg just a little too hard and tell him i love him.
9. If i don't make it home to tell him i love him i sneak in his room and tell him i love him and just watch him for a few minutes. (don't tell dad i was usually awake )
10. When he can't sleep i give him 15 minutes, he usually falls asleep but if he beats the clock i let him come out and sit with me.
