Last night, Sydney did and said a lot of funny things – I just had to write them down.
- We were eating some caramel corn, and she told me she had some stuck in her teeth. I told her I did, and she asked to see. When I opened my mouth, I accidentally gleeked, and she said, “You splashed me, Daddy!”
- Sydney was playing Skee-ball on my iPod touch. She gave it to Emily to play, and I teased her and said, “Uh oh – Mommy’s gonna keep it for a really long time!” – Sydney got worried and went and took it right back from Emily.
- Sydney and I haven’t really wrestled much since my back surgery. I was laying on my back last night and grabbed Sydney and started wrestling with her. She was having a blast, and Emily told me, “She’s been waiting for this night for a long time.” Sydney apparently heard her, because for the next 10 minutes while we wrestled, she kept shouting, “I’ve been waiting for this night!”
- While we were wrestling, she got all serious and said, “Your whiskers are bothering me, Daddy.”
A lot of them you probably had to be there, but I wanted to write them down so we could remember. It’s so amazing to see her grow up, right in front of us!
