Yesterday the hubs left once again heading out to work. Since we have been dropping him off at the airport Monkey has been doing great with understanding that Daddy has to leave again for work. Before he left this time we bought a recordable book from Hallmark. Hubby recorded it and I locked it (which was a good thing because the first thing Monkey did was push the buttons that would have erased it all) and now that book has to go every where with him and if he puts it some where it can not be moved. His "Daddy Book" as he calls it is currently upstairs with him in bed. I think that it was worth the $30 so Monkey can hear his Daddy's voice whenever he wants to. Next time Hubby is home we plan to make some video of Daddy reading books with Money and playing with him so that he can see his Daddy whenever he wants to because Skype isn't always an option.
Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...
