Junior calls

I got a call on my phone today.

Me: Hello?

Giselle 1.9: Hi Daddy!

Me: Is this Giselle?

Giselle: Mmmm Hmmmm

Me: What are you doing?

Giselle: Me cookie.

Me: You're eating a cookie?

Giselle: Mmmm Hmmmm

Me: That sounds good!

Giselle: Mommy got cookie.

Me: Mommy got you the cookie?

Giselle: Mmmm Hmmmm.

She then tried to hang up on me a couple of times before I said goodbye and ended the conversation.  That's the issue with having three ladies in the household.  Whole lotta talking going on and Daddy is expected to be part of that chatter.

Dance time

Kali 4.7 and Giselle 1.9 both watched 'Mamma Mia' with me the other night.  It's a good 'grown up' movie for them.  Lots of color, dancing, and songs to keep them interested.  I danced around with them for awhile just to keep them entertained.  Thankfully, they're too young to make fun of Daddy's dancing at this point.

Because of my occupation at an event location that has a lot of weddings, I had a realization.  I was dancing with them, spinning them, dipping them, etc.  I realized that some day, I'm going to be that dad, giving away his girls at a wedding, dancing with them at the reception, etc.  I'm not sure how well I'm going to do in that regard.  Ah well.  I have a couple decades at a minimum to figure that all out.

The Bookworm

Giselle 1.9 is all about learning.  If you're sitting on the couch in the living room, that girl will just bring one book after another until you cut her off.  There's been some nights where we had a pile of 20+ books sitting next to the couch after a marathon reading session.  Add in that we usually read each book twice and we're going through a LOT of books.

Not only are the books interesting to her, but she remembers the words on each page or things that Mommy or Daddy might have said about those pages in previous readings.  I often get caught off-guard while reading when she just spits out information about those pages before I even start reading.  There are some books that she has memorized.

I'm very blessed to have two kids who don't take after me in the intelligence department.

Kali the President.......

I was talking with Kali 4.7 about the money we were counting. We've been saving my money in a glass vase together for our trip to Disney World this fall.

Kali: Daddy, why are there pictures on all the money? 

Me: Those people are all people that were important in our history. 

Kali: Oh. Well who is that man? 

Me: That man is very important. He's the very first president of the United States. His name is George Washington. 

Kali: He was a president? 

Me: Yep. Kali: Well, I'm president of my room! I'm the boss in there! 

Me: Oh yeah? 

Kali: Yeah! I'm the boss! 

Me: Well, do you have your picture on the kingdom of Kali's money? 

Kali: No. 

Me: Why not? 

Kali: Well, I just don't. I'm a kid! I can't have my picture on money yet! 

Me: Fair enough. Maybe sometime in the future. 

Kali: Yep.
