Daddy's first Father's Day with a double dose of tiny love!
We made him cards, and Princess handed him the envelope saying "Apa" to him for the first time ever. Today she started calling us Anya and Apa :)
Monkey discovered the cross-stitching kit...and couldn't put it down. Don't tell anyone though...he's not convinced that it's not too "girly" to be caught doing. He made this coaster for Daddy.
Still working at building trust...she always says "nem" at first when daddy tries to get her to do something, like shoulder rides during our walks...but he'll pick her up and make her giggle and do it anyway. Each day she gets a little more open and trusting. Monkey is a GREAT help - when he does it first she sees that it's OK and wants to do it then.
We took daddy on a special trip to Tesco to get some ground meat, since it's the only place we can find that here. Right next to the chicken hearts and chicken livers. Mmmmmm. We get the ground stuff...still not sure if it's pork, turkey, chicken, beef, or what - it tastes different than what we're used to.
But it's GOOD! I made him some big 'ole greasy cheeseburgers for dinner. With cheese rolls from Tesco. Next time we're getting the bacon rolls. Tesco is where it's at, I tell you.
Then we took him out for an Irish coffee and he goofed around with the kiddos some more.
Then finished off the day with more swimming lessons. She swims across the entire deep end by herself now!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, Apa!
Looks like you are really gelling as a family, Melissa! She seems just so sweet, and it is very heart-warming (and tear-inducing) to read how Avery already loves her and is protective over her transition. What a Wonderful Big Brother he is!!! Continue to post - reading these are a highlight of my days! Today I had to catch up on them, starting with School Started Today! God Bless!
