K, you’re at work with me today.
Not because you want to be…
You’re being punished for not listening to the babysitter.
(Her name is Cambrie. Can I out her here? Will she see this?!)
I mean, your punishment is hanging out with Dad for the day?! 😢
Anyway…
We got Dunkin Donuts after dropping T off at school.
And now you are quietly playing with Woodsies on the other side of the desk.
You’re being adorable, if you want to know the truth.
It might be your punishment, but it’s the best day I have had at work in weeks.
I love you.
-Dad
All you kids have done it.
But T, you gave me some morning snuggles this morning that were just to die for.
I was still in that in-between phase where you are not asleep still, but not awake yet either.
Somewhere in the Lala land of dreams and needed response.
I was hugging the pillow and you were loved up on my neck holding me like a baby koala bear.
At four, your little body still feels like a little hot water bottle over my shoulders.
I remember H and K doing the same.
And its all been bliss.
I love you.
-Dad
