july 20, 2011

dear daddy,

you never fail to make mommy feel like she is the light of your life. good job with ALL of the birthday surprises over the last week and that super special blog post you wrote for her. you are one fine daddy.

well, tuck man and i woke mommy up by singing "happy birthday" to her as loud as we could. then we smothered her with kisses and climbed into bed with her. we were so happy it was finally her birthday.

i couldn't wait for her to come downstairs to see all of my decorations that me, poppie, and tucker put up last night. we popped a few balloons while we were putting them up but that's okay. she loved them! i knew she would.

i made her a special card and helped marmie wrap a couple of presents i picked out for her. first, i picked out a pink cup with a straw because she needed a girl color. i also picked out a cookie sheet because she really needs a new one to bake some yummy cookies for us! wanna know what i told marmie to write in here card? good. i knew you would...

"dear mommy,

i love so much and when you don't see me, tucker will be with you. and you can play with him and make will laugh.

happy birthday! i love you!
happy birthday to you!

GREY"

mommy got to talk to you on the phone this morning. i think that made her really happy because she smiled a lot.

tuck and i played and let marmie and mommy talk and drink coffee and tea. we fought a little bit and tucker hit me but that's okay. then i got to put my bathing suit on and go to my swimming lessons again! i was so excited because i had a couple more surprises for mommy. i swam with just the swim belt on by myself! then i put my goggles on and went under water for a couple of seconds! happy birthday mommy! she was proud.

the adam's girls sent mommy a special party in a box with all sorts of fun things in it. tuck and i played with the blowers all day.

while mommy and marmie went shopping this afternoon, i got to take a nap and play with poppie. we watched george 2 and i laughed at the really funny parts. when they brought will home i taught him how to wrestle a little bit. but i was very gentle. he liked sitting on my tummy. we laughed at each other. i love sweet little chubby cheeks.

marmie made mommy a special birthday dinner. tucker liked eating the ribs.

i locked myself in the bathroom during dinner and cried. then marmie explained the digestive system to me again because i had lots of questions about what happens to the food when we eat it. tucker almost got a spanking at dinner because he wouldn't sit down. i made sure he remembered if he didn't sit down he would definitely get a spanking.

tucker kept saying it was his birthday today. but i set him straight every time.

we got to have a yummy pie after dinner. i told marmie i don't like ANY kind of pie but i really did like this one. it was delicious and i ate every bite. we sang "happy birthday" to mommy and me and tuck helped her blow out her candle.


i kissed and hugged mommy a lot today. i think it made her feel special. i learn from watching you, you know. you do a really good job loving mommy. i am being the man of the family while you're gone just like you told me to. sometimes i don't obey or listen to mommy the first time but i'm working on that too.

i had fun on mommy's birthday and she did too. when you come home and i come home i am going to hug and kiss you a lot.

we miss you and can't wait to see you soon daddy!

love,

grey bear
