for the love of daddy

By -

Tradition on the Nelson household. When daddy has to go to school in the morning Kiera and I watch out the window as he puts on his bike helmet and backpack and then wave bye. Then when school is done steve calls me and lets me know he is coming home and all us Nelson females go sit on the edge of the sidewalk and wait for him to turn the corner onto our street at which point Kiera goes running down the street (unless I stop her due to a car) as fast as her toddler legs can carry her towards daddy and then daddy takes her for a ride on his bike while I go do the finishing touches to dinner and we eat. kiera and i have been playing out yhis entire scenario over and over with play dough characters. Kiera asks me about 5 times daily for "shoes......wait" (she wants to go outside and wait for daddy).

Lydia smiles now. she smiled 3 times at daady before mommy. my girls love daddy and i can't blame them.

Why oh why will kids eat yucky things before some good things? I dunno. Some graduate student should do their thesis on it. Cute video. I want to play with Clay with Kiera. Cute traditions....cute mommy. Lydia smiles eh? Oh they grow fast. A smile today, a drivers license tomorrow.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
