Ted's Favorite Part of the Day

Each day as our family sits around the dinner table we go to each person and have them share their favorite part of the day. We even ask Tidus. He usually babbles something like, "babbababa" so we just fill in what we assume he means... probably food... or bath time.

Today Tyler worked late, but fortunately he was able to go into work a little later than normal so the kids were able to see him, play a few games and wave him goodbye.

With just the boys and I at the dinner table I asked Ted what his favorite part of the day was. He said, "saying goodbye to daddy." When I questioned him on his reasoning he said it was because he liked saying goodbye to him.

I replied, "and you probably liked climbing on daddy's legs and keeping him from leaving."

"daddy said get off so I did, but then I got back on because I am silly."

Today I took the kids swimming in the hot tub in the rain, we went on a bike ride, I set up a few science experiments and art projects and we stayed up a little late to watch a movie, and Ted's favorite part of the day was saying goodbye to Daddy. It is one of those moments that puts life into perspective. All the activities I planned with the kids were fun and beneficial but the truly important things are the simple times with family.
