HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY DADDY


Baby just talked to Daddy on the phone to wish him a HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY and he was blabbering on and on about whether or not he should wear a hat to the park and how his mommy hasn't called him yet (what's up with that, Dar?) and the naughty birthday presents that he got.

It reminds me of this time that Daddy had an ice skating birthday party. Actually, it was a two-part party situation. First we went to the Snoop Shoppe and painted ceramic doggies, then we went ice skating at Centennial Pool. Daddy took a pretty rough tumble right in the middle of this solo performance he was doing, and everyone stopped skating and looked at him. The whole rink got horribly quiet as Daddy lay on the rink, his tears melting the ice. Slowly, he picked himself up, brushed off his shiny, tight skating outfit, and nailed this really difficult spin/jump. Baby doesn't know the technical term for it because she was never as into competitive skating as Daddy was, but it was pretty impressive. Everyone clapped, and Daddy wore a big smile for the rest of the party.

And I think that tells us all a lot about who Daddy is today. We could all learn a lot from that 13 year old boy.
