Father's Day

We celebrated Papa's Day a week late, due to Joseph's ear surgery.  The dinner he picked included Caprese salad, caramelized green beans with bacon, steak, apple crisp, biscuits, and sherbet.


For gifts he got his stash of car treats restocked.  (A few months ago, Joseph started keeping treats in his car.  He thought it was his secret stash and he felt guilty about this little indulgence.  I totally knew about it and supported this idea.  I thought it was a great way to help him start to unwind after a busy day, and probably would help him face the chaos that would welcome him when he came home.)

Joseph also got a big gift. We will let Nicholas tell you about it.



Nicholas was so sweet.  He really got into the spirit of giving today.  He picked up all his very special blankets from off his bed and brought them to Papa.  He shouted surprise and gave them to him.  Then he went back and got Bark, his pillow pet that he sleeps with EVERY night, and yelled surprise again.  I thought it was so sweet that he was willing to share with Papa his most treasured items.  These are also the only items I tell Nicholas that he doesn't have to share if he doesn't want to share them.  It was a sweet moment.  Soon there after Nicholas decided it was "NOT SUNDAY" and "NOT PAPA'S DAY".  It was just "NICHOLAS' DAY and I can watch Diego RIGHT NOW."
