On the way home, John asked “Daddy, why are we going so slow?” Daddy explained to him that there was traffic. “Daddy, can I open my window?” He opened his window, stuck his head out and had the following commentary: “Whoa, look at all of those cars! You gotta… Continue reading Wheeeee!
Last night in the bathtub, John said “One day, I’m going to be a Daddy and Gillian is going to be a Mommy.” I was a little taken back by his statement, but I did ask him what kind of kids he was going to have. He said “you mean boys or girls? Boys!” I… Continue reading One day
