Current Mood: daddy mode!

(no subject)

Couldn't resist these for the baby.

Cute dad.

*smiles* I had some like these when I was a baby... flowers and all. *chuckles* Sadly lost now.

You had flowers on your shoes?

*laughs* Yes - my grandmother - my Dad's mom - was convinced I was going to be a girl. And I was too young to care about flowers...

*laughs* Are there pictures?

*wry smile* Somewhere around... let me see. *gets up to dig out some old photo albums*

Ah, here we are. That's me at three months old, in your great-grandma's arms. Wasn't I a funny looking little thing? And I have the shoes on.

*smiles looking over the pictures*

*chuckles* And that's me learning to walk. Well, I didn't stick to just toddling for long. I was off running!

Was I like that dad?

*chuckles* You certainly got moving as soon as you could. And you were very determined about it - especially at nap time!

Really?

Yes, really, Gid. *chuckles warmly* You certainly knew what you wanted, even at that age! And naps weren't it. I think "no" must have been one of your earliest words!

*chuckles* So I've always been as stubborn as you?

*laughs* Oh yes. You didn't just inherit the old man's good looks and charm!

*laughs*

You got me to take naps too, though. When you finally settled down - that was good for both of us, actually.

Naps are good for you.

They are. Etta helps me nap - she curls up with me in the daytime sometimes, when she's not playing with you, Zep or Amanda - and I can nap with the baby too, when she's born.

And I nap with Amanda.

*smiles* Mother-son naps - the perfect way to relax.

The best.

Mmmm, such cute baby's bootees!

Thank you! *smiles* I am glad you like them!
