Happy Baba's Day


Happy Baba's Day. Today we celebrate what makes fathers be dads.
I grew up with pretty much the best dad ever. As an adult, I am even closer to my dad and love him to pieces and hope that Abigail and Larry have the same kind of close relationship someday.
For now, Larry is the best Baba that Abigail could ask for.

shape heart bullets 009=2783.gifHe makes her a hot breakfast every morning.

shape heart bullets 009=2783.gifHe teaches her to sing and encourages her to explore playing the piano (with her hands, feet, butt...)
shape heart bullets 009=2783.gifHe pushes her in her swing when it is 95 degrees outside just because she said "please"
shape heart bullets 009=2783.gifHe pushes her in the jogging stroller so that she can enjoy being outside when he runs.
shape heart bullets 009=2783.gifWhen we are eating a meal, he will give her his food if she already ate all of hers and wants more.
shape heart bullets 009=2783.gifHe makes her laugh a hundred times per day.
shape heart bullets 009=2783.gifHe isn't afraid to get on the floor and play with her.
shape heart bullets 009=2783.gifBefore he goes to bed at night, he sneaks into her room to watch her sleep.

Larry is an amazing father and I can't imagine not having him on my team for this run as parents!
