Before Aiden was born, Andy's dad got him this neat little book called "Things to do now that you're...a dad" by David Baird. It's just a little book with lots of nifty quotes, and neat suggestions for dads to do with their kiddos. Andy was reading it last night, and there were two cute sayings that I thought were so true!
"Now that you're a dad, your perception of your life before children is going to change radically. What once seemed a hectic life will be an oasis of blissful calm. Don't worry, it will come back, but not in a hurry." Could there be a more true statement???!!! :)
"There are three stages of a dad's life: he starts out believing in Santa Claus, then he reaches a stage where he no longer believes in Santa Claus, then he becomes Santa Claus." We both cracked up at this one!
Andy and I are looking forward to a weekend oasis of blissful calm as we head up to see my sister in Walla Walla this weekend. Aiden is having a slumber party at Grammy & Papa's house (my mom and dad), and we are looking forward to 5 hours in the car where we can stop when we want to stop, sleep all night, wake up when our bodies say it is time, AND, a full day of wine tasting and delicious food, diaper bag & bib free! Yahoo!! It goes without saying that we will miss our little man like crazy and all of his hilarious antics, but are craving a weekend to recharge.
