Stickers Everywhere

Girls, I love – love – the fact that you two put sticker everywhere.

H started it.

And K, you have taken to it like a duck to water.

Plain and simple, you put stickers all over our house with both a flair of artistry and a dash of randomness .

The funny part is that I could see so many parents getting upset over this.

Heavens! The paint might come off of the wall!

Oh, who cares.

Soon enough you won’t even care about stickers.

I am going to enjoy it while I can.

I love you.

What Are You Eating

K, you are my little yes girl right now.

You are up for anything, and ready to go everywhere.

  • Want to go with me to turn the sprinklers on?
  • Do you want to come with me to take Huck to the pet hotel?
  • I have to go get groceries. Do you want to come with me?

You say yes to it all.

Naturally then, every Saturday you come with me to get donuts for breakfast.

We head west for couple of blocks, swing through the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru, and head straight back home.

9 times out of 10 when we do this I stand in solidarity with you (avoiding egg) and only get a croissant to eat.

But sometimes – sometimes – I order a chocolate frosted donut. I eat it on our way home so that you don’t have to watch me (rear facing car seat), and so that you won’t feel left out.

As you have gotten older you talk more and more on these short trips. You also ask questions. Dozens of questions. Which finally forces me to talk.

The other day you caught me.

In your sweet little voice you asked:

What are you eating, daddy?

I think I played it off and asked you a question to change the subject.

Honestly, I can’t wait to eat some donuts with you one day soon.

Were gonna get past this egg allergy and have ourselves a field-day.

Keep being my YES girl.

I love you.

Swollen Eyes

K biscuit. You have had swollen eyes the last few days something awful.

Now I don’t mean “swollen-irritated.”

I mean that your school called yesterday worrying your were having an allergic reaction and wanted us to come get/see you.

Mom and I tend to think it is just a bad case of seasonal allergies…

Thankfully, Mom took you to see Dr. Landry two days ago, and she agreed.

Double-dose of Zyrtec (again) tonight for you!

Fell better.

I love you.
