The Daddy Daily..#4

As already explained (to daddy), Kenzie let me sleep in this morning. I was awakened by the alarm, and got to take a shower all by myself before she got up. She then paid me back in full by only taking a 45 minute nap. That's never good when Mama works full-time from home!

I spent the day standing by our keybox as Kenzie sorted the treasures in there...hung them on the keyrings...tried them on as jewelry ("Where on earth did she get the idea to give herself a nose-ring," Mama exclaims!)...bonked her head (& then yelled at the box for inflicting such pain)..and started the routine all over. A typical toddler attention span is usually about 15 minutes or less. After 40 minutes (of supervising her standing on a bench to reach the keybox), I started bribing her with trips to the mailbox, drawing puppies, snacks, and eventually won her over with the sandbox.

Kenzie's vocabulary is getting so big and she's got a lot to say. Today, she said: "Daddy two weeks" when we were looking at your picture at the top of the staircase. Of course, she has no sense of time - so I won't bother with teaching her that it's really 1.5 weeks NOW!! We love you..
