Having A Girl

Mom and I have a voicemail from the doctor’s office that we waited until today to listen to.

We dropped you kids off at church Crest Care, hit the Raising Cane’s drive-thru on the way home and listened to the voicemail at the kitchen table just before we ate.

We are having a girl!

O-M-Goodness.

Three girls in our family!

Mom and I were supposed to watch movies for the next few hours to relax, but mom was (apparently) all keyed up about it, and she fell asleep on the couch ten minutes later.

I can’t wait to meet our new addition!

I love you.

Fuzzin Your Hair

K, last week I was on the floor playing with you and H.

At some point, you circled behind me and got to rubbing my hair.

A few minutes later, I picked you up on my shoulders and you rubbed my hair with even more vigor.

I said:

“K, what are you doing?”

You said:

“Dad, I’m fuzzin your hair.”

Ha.

My girl.

You can fuzz my hair any old time.

On a side-note, I just love the way you run through the house right now.

It sounds crazy, but the way your hair swishes back and forth and the pitter-patter of your feet has a sweetness to it that I wish I could bottle up and hold forever.

I love you.

Lawn Mower

K, we got to go on a dinner date a few weeks ago.

We got to go on a dinner date because mom and H were on a dinner date of their own.

After our date, you went to Lowe’s with me to get a part to fix our broken toilet.

Going in and coming out, you were mesmerized with the riding lawn mowers both displayed out front and inside the store.

What’s that, daddy?
A lawn mower to cut grass.
It cuts grass?
Yes.
A lawn mower that cuts our grass?
Yes sweet girl, sometimes with big yards there are lawn mowers to ride on so you don’t have to push.

We stopped on the way out and I let you sit on one.

I took a picture of you sitting up there, tall and proud.

You were smiling like you had conquered the world.

I love you.
