Dear Dad,
Love daddy and mommy. I love colors in daddy's eye. I
love daddy. Cause he's so funny. We wrestle, we go fishing, but mom
doesn't come sometimes or Hallie. Dad takes me fishing. (What else do
you love about daddy?) That's all mom. I have a cold, and I cough a
lot. What do you eat? And that's all.
Love you,
I love
micahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Dear Dad,
In my way I can be good and he can come back. I knew love I like your
body and you be good to eat tomorrow. I love your way. I know you and
your star and you can go to sleep and have breakfast. I love you and
your life. I love getting hugs and tickles. Getting stinged and
better. I love you and I can go potty! Why do you love me? I love my
sparkly dress and you love my sparkly dress. I love daddy if you is
mine. I knew love, you are my sun. I need love if you are my way and
my dudes. I need love you are mine. I love you, you are mine you are
mars.
Love you,
Hallie
Hallie and Micah both have been asking a ton of questions about Papa Bruce in the last week. They want to know why his legs don't work, why he doesn't walk, why his fingers are like that (2 bent at the top knuckle and missing half on 2 fingers), why his arm doesn't work, etc. I've decided that explaining a disability and disease to a 4 year old is difficult. It's hard to explain it in a way that satisfies their curiosity and makes sense to inquisitive minds. I think an understanding will come with time and I will continue to answer their questions in a way that I hope makes sense to them.
But I'm glad that I can continue to share things that he used to do and that they understand how great papa is. So I will keep telling them stories about camping and wrestling with papa, that he drove semi-trucks and was a firefighter, that he liked to hike and that he used to walk. And I hope that as they grow up they will enjoy stories of papa just as I do and I will continue to let papa turn on movies for the kids as often as he would like and I will make sure he has a good supply of m&m's so he can continue to sneak them treats even if they haven't finished their dinner because papa is fun and I want them to know him as such.
I'll be posting more frequently with some tidbits from the kiddos for Ty while he is away, so enjoy the extra postings. :)
Micah asked yesterday how Santa gets inside a house. I told him that Santa goes down the chimney. A little while later he asked how Santa fits in the chimney, I explained that sometimes if he won't fit he comes in the front door. A few hours later he asked again, thankfully grandma Jodi was quick on her feet and told him after a few more questions that it is magic. He replied with an, "oh" and went on with his business. I think that has satisfied this little boys inquisitive mind for now, I hope!
They are absolutely loving being close to Madison and Rylee is growing on them as long as she doesn't steal their toys. :) They ask all the time when they are going to go see Madison, it's so cute.
We bought bunk beds for the kids today and set them up. They were so excited and thankfully the fight over the top wasn't bad at all. We will switch every week. Micah is starting us out today and we will switch next weekend. Thankfully Hallie didn't put up a fight and was more then happy to sleep on the trundle. I'll be taking over the bottom bunk with my memory foam and all. I think I may even make a fort tonight and cuddle up and read. :)
