Being a dad is a magnificent thing. My little girl is growing up WAY too fast. Soon I’ll have to get a 9mm and work on the “Application to Date CavGirl” form.
She went to a friend’s birthday party this past weekend where they all dressed up like beautiful little girls and acted like models. She wasn’t too sure about that lipstick. But I think she had a great time despite having that stuff on her lips. They forgot the sparkle and CavWife decided that with a long car ride home, it was best not to have it put on anyway.
CavWife forgot the camera, but did have the new cell phone which has a camera. So I still got to see how she looked since I was home with the boy. Suddenly she is more interested in dresses. It fits, she’s a bit of a diva.
It is moments like this that she brings such joy to my heart. She can be so full of life and creativity. It is great!
Then there is my Warrior. CavBoy is a complete hoot. He’s finally climbing out of the crib (hey, he’s short for his age!). We’ve begun potty training- which is a bit of a trip. He’s doing fairly well. He tells us when the poop is coming- we just need a bit more warning. He’ll get it.
But I think he’s going to be an MMA star one of these days. Wrestling seems to come naturally to him. When you pick him up, he goes limp making it harder to maneuver him. He has already learned that the head controls the body and will stiff arm you as you play on the floor. He’ll also use his forearm to apply pressure in unpleasant places.
Do Not Let the Shoes Fool You!
I’m not sure how he learned this. It’s not like I’m watching it and he’s sitting with me. Maybe it’s in his Chinese DNA. Or my imagination. He likes to roll around on the floor with his sister, and with me. He tries to play with the dog, but he’s too old and arthritic. Too bad he missed Huck’s salad days. Huck would have been excited to have this guy to play with.
Yes, those are his ‘big boy undies’. He still has trouble getting all the way up in front. CavWife thinks it is hilarious. I shake my head in shame.
CavWife has pushed me into going onto Facebook. As a result, most of these things (family oriented things) will be there. I think I can upload more photos more easily (thanks to the glitches in the laptop’s security system that makes life difficult). You can find both of us on Facebook. I really hope it doesn’t suck up all our free time.
