of made up songs

Apr 18th, 2008 | By Chuck | Category: Heart Strings, Mini Blog, Papa Prattle

This evening the darling three year old was having some trouble staying in her bed, preferring to be in ours. I convinced her to let me lie down with her and I would sing her a song.

I sang a song at a whispers tone. I sang of her pretty face and beautiful smile, of her big heart and her love for her family. The song felt like it was over until she turned to me and said, "You forgot my hair daddy. My hair is beautiful too."

And so it is. One last verse and off to sleep she went.

I took the girls to the mall this morning. While strolling along my three year old asks, “Was that a boy or a girl?” while gesturing toward a guy walking by.

I barely caught this guy in my periphery but it was enough to be relatively certain he was a he. “That’s a boy”

Girl: But he has a necklace on

Dad: Some men were necklaces

Girl: Daddy! That is silly. Boys don’t wear necklaces!

Dad: Sure they can. I don’t, but some boys do.

Girl: Oh (while giggling) they need to be a real boy like you

Dad: Huh … thanks kid

This looks like fun

Have you ever wanted to print a comic book hero right from your PC? Me either, until I saw this link from ParentHacks where you can do just that. Printable, foldable comic book characters and super heroes.

Well, well, well!

My wife and I were chatting about a friend who was having a drinking water well drilled on his property.

"They're down to around 200 feet now." I said.

"What kind of well are they digging?" My son interjected.

"Well, a water well of course. What other kinds of wells are there?" I said matter-of-factly.

My son said, with DUH intonation and attitude, "Wishing Wells!!!"

I laughed so hard I couldn't catch a breath. He comes up with some good ones.

Pink, the new black

I've uploaded a couple of my sons pre Junior prom pictures to the D is for Dad Flickr group. It was a blast taking the photos and we are so grateful he thought to include us. You can get to the Flickr group by clicking any of those images in the upper right corner.

Yeah, right there. :)
