I'm so glad when daddy comes home! Glad as I can be! Clap my hands and shout for joy, then climb upon his knee. Wrap my arms around his neck, hug him tight like this. Clap his cheeks and give him what? A great big kiss!
The above are words to a fun primary song that I've been signing to Carter right around 5:45 when he's "helping" me make dinner and I know Brandon should be home at anytime. Brandon usually sends me a text when he gets close to home and Carter recognizes the sound my phone makes. He gets so excited saying "
daddydaddydaddydaddy". Because he knows that means that dad will be home anytime. A few minutes after I get his text we'll usually go to the big window in the front room and Carter will press his face up to the glass staring down the road for Brandon
"daddy" to come. I wish I had a picture of him doing this because it's just priceless the way his little nose gets squished against the glass. You should see his face light up when he finally sees the car coming down the road. You'd think he was at Disneyland for the first time the way he starts dancing around with uncontrolled joy running to open the front door! Carter definitely loves his daddy and is so glad when he gets home from work so they can play. I'm
excited too, of course, because I get to be with Brandon too but also because by the time Brandon gets home from work I'm pretty tired of playing. I know Brandon's had a long day at work as well but he always seems to drum up more energy to spend
time with Carter. They wrestle and build towers together (always followed by Carter knocking them down), use the exercise ball as a steam roller on each other (I guess that could be a form of exercise) and of course reading. Watching them do the steam roller with the big exercise ball is funny because Carter will only attempt to steam roll over Brandon when he's pretending to be asleep. Then Carter
sneakily rolls this huge
ball over to Brandon and counts 1, 2, 3 and pushes it onto Brandon. Then of course Brandon makes a big scene like he was just awakened. Guess you have to be there to get the full effect but needless to say it is so fun to watch them together. I'm so lucky to have Brandon, not only because he's an amazing husband but because he's also the best daddy. Sorry for the mushy post... must be the
pregnancy hormones. =)
He also got a tad muddy.... but hey... I guess that's just what happens on a farm. =)
