I've been in New Jersey for the past two weeks for training with my new company. WAY TOO LONG!!! But, it's almost over. I can't tell you how much I miss Christi and the kids. I missed Parker's first baseball All-Star tournament (including a home run!) But I'll be home tomorrow.
Tonight I called home to say hello. Jesi picked up the phone and I recognized her sweet little "Hello" immediately. I asked, "Is this Jesi?" "Yes" I asked, "Do you know who this is?" She said, "Daddy!" "Yes, sweetheart." "Why are you calling, Daddy?" "Because I love you so much," I said. "What?" Jesi asked. "Because I..." "Daddy, I have to go get ice cream!" Click. Well, at least I know where I stand:)

Remind me to do the 'mom fell down' phone call to Ben with you some day! As for where you fit in the family - after ice cream is better than no at all!
ReplyDeleteAs a dad - well - yeah.....
hugs - aus and co.
Oh no! Sorry! I am working with my 3.5 year old b/c his daddy is going to Iraq soon and he has a tendency to drop the call like your daughter did if he is distracted.
ReplyDeleteI don't want it to hurt my hubby's feelings. He called from NJ last night (training) and got about 2 sentences out of our little guy before he chucked the phone...cookies were out of the oven...that's all it took.
Sadly, we can't call Iraq, so I have to work some more with my little sugar bug!
