Happy Father's Day

We started Father's Day morning with homemade French toasted as requested by Daddy. Since it was Father's Day, Collin got to have confectioners sugar on his toast for the first time. Since he is in the "I want to do it" stage, he had to pour this himself. Since Mommy is smart, she gave him a spoon already filled with the amount of the sugar she wanted him to have and then gave it to him to pour were he wanted.



After breakfast, we went grocery shopping as a family. Collin chose the red car cart, again. This time, he brought his glasses he got yesterday from Melia's birthday party and wore them while he was driving. He got some looks, laughs and LOTS of attention.



After resting back and watching Shrek (he LOVES "Donkey and Shrek" which is how he refers to the movie), we went to the Astros game. Collin lasted a lot longer than we thought he would (5 innings this time). He liked watching the batter and clapping with the Astros did a good job. He ate a slice of my pizza, some of Daddy's chips and 1/2 of both of our drinks. Even though he drank a lot, he did a good job of letting us know when he had to go potty...even on the way to Mimi and Pappy's house, we pulled over because he needed to go. Once he saw the mascot walking around, he lost focus on the game and could only focus and talk about where the "bunny" (the mascot) went. He is REALLY afraid of these things (Chuck E Cheese is NOT his friend). He wanted to go because he did not want the bunny to get him. We talked him into one more inning but he really wanted to go so we left.


After the game, we went to see Pappy to wish him a happy father's day. Collin played inside a little until I went in the backyard to look at some of Mimi's garage sale finds. I did find a few things I wanted to take back to our so so Collin helped me clean them up with the water hose. He found a bat a ball and wanted me to throw the ball to him. I threw it about 15 times and he hit it twice. He had a decent swing and follows through most of the time. It was getting hot so we went back inside to say "bye".


We ate at Pei Wei on the way home. Collin practiced using his chop sticks. He knew what they were when I took them out of the paper. He did a decent job with his Lo Mein noodles but was not really hungry (tummy was still probably full of too much liquid). After we got home, Collin and I played "hoops" in the backyard until Daddy came out in is bathing suit. Great idea Daddy!!! We decided to join him in the 92 degree water (it got up to 100 degrees today...yeah summer). The swim felt great and we had fun splashing each other. We got out, cleaned up and Daddy and Collin relaxed while watching a Mickey Mouse movie. Even after a long day, Collin still fought to go to bed.


I think Daddy had a great day today. We love spending Sunday's together. Happy Father's day Chris!
