Carson came home from school today with a card he’d made about his Daddy.
“Look at that!,” I exclaimed enthusiastically. “You’re sitting in the backseat of the car, is that Daddy driving?”
Carson scowled at me, his arms firmly crossed. “Yes,” he huffed. “But I messed it up and drew hair in Daddy’s eyes. And Daddy doesn’t drive a car! He drives a Cheby Abawanche.” Oh the disappointment and injustice!
Inside the card, Carson answered a few questions about Tate. It’s so like my very serious son to come up with such accurate answers. (His teacher said that Carson came up with the best answers! I don’t know exactly what “best” means in terms of this particular assignment, but I’ll assume it means he’ll get a full ride scholarship to Harvard one day because he’s a genius.)
I think he knows his Daddy pretty well.
“Carson,” I asked, “What is my favorite show?”
“House Hunters,” he said with as much DUH, MOM as he could muster.
I guess he knows me pretty well, too.
Our kids do know us.
My favourite memory from my son’s first year at school was the “When I grow up I want to … work at the fence deparment and build fences like daddy” Daddy works for the DEfence Department! But I like how we kept it under cover that little bit longer
Hilarious!

Keep these forever. One day in the distant future (when he’s 9), you’ll look back and cry.
(p.s. I spotted something not blurred out.)

I like that the “I love you Dad” is pre-printed. So much safer that way.

I LOVE projects like this. It is so fun to see what your kids think about you. And how cool that he’s been paying attention!

My daughter’s all about Mom said I was seven feet tall and weigh 43 pounds. Love her.

Love it. My husband’s favorite food is hot sauce too. But really? His teacher should have known better. A VW bug? What dad drives a vw bug except for the ones on that teen parents show on MTV?

I know. I figure it’s okay to see his name, it’s not google-able via a picture. Now I just need to remember to delete the picture from the post in a few weeks!
This should be one of those things put in your “forever box” You will look at that many years from now and treasure those memories! What a cute kid my grandson is!!!
Good news…he knows you well too!

Love this…It’s true what a pp said – you’ll look back at this in a few years and laugh (and cry!)
My little man once told my neighbours (after I’d spent a year petitioning for and organizing the installation of a new playgroud in our neighbourhood) that when I died, I would be famous. They asked why, and he said it was because once I die, our park would be named after me.
LOL

If your husband likes hot sauce, maybe Ella will, too … Course, that wouldn’t actually help with the thumb-sucking, though, would it??

I’m glad to see you have another happy post!!!! I’m thirlled everything is coming together for your family.
How sweet is it that your baby boy knows both of you so well. Save it. My so is 18 and still likes to look at the stuff he did when he was little. He also likes to hear stories of the things he did or said. This blog is going to be perfect for that!
Don’t you love when people tell you how to raise your kids?!?!?! Like they know your baby better than you do. whatever! You know what is best for your baby girl. Heck the dentist should be thrilled not giving advice. haha j/k I’m sure it will all work out. There is no guarantee that her teeth wouldnt need help even if she didn’t suck her thumb or take a pacifier!
Best of luck!
