Since I strive to win the "Aunt of the Year" award, I pulled out all the stops. Art projects. Board Games [you play a mean Hullabaloo, Gabe!]. Baking. Snacks. Treats. Cartoons. A delicious pot roast dinner.I think you get my point. One would think I would have this award in the bag.
One. Would. Think.
That is, until, Uncle Sam walked in the door. How easily the children forgot the Rolos I offered them spontaneously. You know, a "just because" treat. Or, the two cartoons I let them watch back-to-back. Or, allowing them to take every single stuffed animal out of hibernation and tuck them in Max's crib. Every. Single. Last. One. And, oh by the way, I found all three children in the crib [at the same time] with these said animals.
Again, one would think I have this award in the bag.
So, why is it so that children just love their daddies and uncles?
I give you
Exhibit A: The Ball Pit War
and
Exhibit B: Ride the Bull
You will know exactly why Uncle Sam won the coveted award today.
Sam,
you are one incredible husband, amazing father and fun-loving uncle.
You deserve the title.
Congrats.
hearing from you!
Thats adorable! There is something special about playing with Daddy! You better believe you wouldnt catch me letting four children ride on my back. He gets the award!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't fair, is it? :o)
ReplyDeleteI will spend all afternoon with Colin doing all sorts of stuff then the minute Daddy walks through the door he forgets who I am!
