happy father's day

Today started out rocky...and early. At 1AM we heard The Mayor crying; we think he had a nightmare. And he didn't go back to sleep until 4AM...which meant I didn't go to sleep until 6AM. I couldn't fall asleep knowing he was still up, and by the time he fell asleep, I was wired. Needless to say, we didn't go to church.

My family came over after they went to church and we grilled out at our house. After a wonderful lunch with the family, Love Bug and The Mayor went down for naps. And so did we. After naps, D took The Mayor to the pool while I waited for Love Bug to wake up and eat. After I nursed her, we joined them at the pool. The Mayor and D went down the water slide for over 2 hours. They were both worn out. After 2 hours of going up and down the slide, D taught The Mayor how to jump into the pool. D would stand in the pool and put The Mayor on the side. It started off with The Mayor holding on to D's fingers and he would scoot his tush into the water. Then The Mayor would bend his knees and act like he was going to jump, all while still holding his daddy's hands, and then kind of fall into D's arms. By the time we were getting ready to pack up, The Mayor was going up the ladder to get out of the pool by himself and then full on jumping into D's arms without holding onto D's hands. Such a big boy.

You would think almost 3 hours in the pool would have worn him out where bedtime wouldn't be a battle, but no luck. At 9:18PM we are still going into his room every few minutes to tell him to go to sleep. Hopefully this portion of our day will get better and quickly.

But regardless, today was a great father's day. We love you D!
