Greetings Little One

About to be a first grader…

Can’t fight logic like this

Clara: Charlie, here's a long word I want you to learn. Excluding. It's when you won't let others play with you. It's not nice.

Charlie: It is nice.

Clara: I don't like it.

Charlie: Yes you do.

Missing Daddy

The first morning that I was in Brazil, Mommy found you here, in the hallway, reading, waiting for Mommy to wake up and missing Daddy.

I love this photo so much, little one. I was missing you, too.

Tooth Fairy coming

Mommy is reading a chapter book to you the night before the tooth fairy arrives. Your tooth is in that little blue and white statue on your nightstand.

   

First lost tooth!

You lost your first tooth, little one, at of all places Bertuccis. Nani and Gramps were with us when it happened, and you couldn’t have been more excited.

You received a certificate from the tooth fairy and two gold dollar coins the following morning.

   

Boy’s new haircut

  

Slip ‘n Slide

I tried slip ‘n sliding, too.

It hurt, little ones. It hurt like hell.

      

While I was in Brazil, look who stole my spot in the bed

 

Ricki’s wedding

I missed the wedding. I was in Brazil.

I wish I was there.

    

Clara and Daddy
