Father's Day and Girl's Camp



Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. If you asked me I'd have to say James had a great Father's Day! .... Even if he doesn't know it he is an incredible father. I appreciate the love, patience, and kindness he shows to both Ethan and me. He's a great daddy!

For Father's Day I gave James the "opportunity" to tend Ethan while I was at Girl's Camp all week. I think they had fun together. Ethan has been clinging to James more than to me, which has been nice. :)

James did tell me about their library trip. We have been thinking about finishing our basement so James needed some how-to books. It was going to be a quick trip in and out. What real man carries a diaper bag after lunch anyway? What could the kid need? With a stack of books in one arm and a delighted baby on the floor yanking books from the bottom shelf as fast as his chubby little arms could move James found himself in quite the predicament. He quickly swooped Ethan up under the belly in a motion very simliar the the Heimlich. It worked! It dislodged all of Ethan's lunch all over James and the library floor. But a real man does not carry a diaper bag (which would have the all important wipes). Needless to say the 1-ply toilet paper from the public library does not hold up well to baby vomit and carpet.

Yes, they had a great week. And so did I. Although, I was ready to come home. It was nice to be able to sleep in a clean bed and shower without my flip flops.

James that is so funny. I'm glad you didn't have a diaper bag, you got to represent all the cool dads, who as I believe we don't always need a diaper bag. What a good story!
