Ta-Da!

20 June 2013

Dear Josslyn,

I  will try not to fall asleep  writing to you this time.

You and mom came and visited me today at work and brought me lunch. It was a really great much needed surprise for a tough Monday.

You had your hair in two fluffy pigtails. You looked really grown up.

You and mom came and picked me up after work and we went to  drop off the Redbox movie and got a frozen coke from Burger King.

As we were waiting to turn left to get the Icees, I asked, "Josslyn, can you say, 'frozen Coke?'"

Your response, "Mmmmmmmm!"

We took our Icees to the Tibbets Valley park. Did some swinging and going down the slide.

You've started to sit by yourself  at the top of the slide and say, "scoot" as you slide closer to the descent. I still have to help you though because you sit so far away from the slide and can't scoot the  distance.

You found a lady bug and  picked it up and let it  climb on your finger for a little bit. You then tried to  remove it by shaking and flicking your finger.

The lady bug fell and you found it again. They were some ants that caught your eye too, but we went back to the slide and swing.

We rode the motorcycle with the side car and you drove.

We had to peel you away from the park and bring you home to eat. You were pretty upset with us for that, but you forgave us when we put the spaghetti and parmesan chicken in front of you.

You ate two plates of spaghetti and used your fork to "scoop" for most of the first plate.

You do much better with your utensils when you use your left hand, but you seem to prefer your right. Tonight you mostly used your left though.

In the bath, I heard you say "ta-da" for the first time. Mom says you say it all the time.

While we were drying you off you were standing on your changing table playing with your bows, saying "bow."

Then the cup of Gatorade I gave you kicked in and you started to pee.

Back in the tub you went.

Ta-da!

Love,
Daddy
