Father’s Day
by Janelle Call on Jun.27, 2010
On Father’s Day we let Skyler sleep in a little bit while we prepared his present. We wrote a special message for him on the mirror in the bathroom (I didn’t get a picture of it, sorry) and we put together this present. My mom gave Skyler and Kaden matching ties, they looked so handsome in them! (picture below)
For this Father’s Day post I thought that since Skyler has been a father for 3 years now that I would write 3 things that make him a great father/interactions with our children that I think are cute!
1. I love to watch Skyler play with Kaden. After dinner he will take Kaden into our alcove and lay on the floor and they will just play together. I can tell that Kaden loves his daddy so much!
2. About a month ago we had a “Girl’s Night” in Park City for my mom’s birthday. It was just for the adult girls so I left Avery home with Skyler (Kaden came with me because I am still nursing him). Avery was so excited to have a daddy/daughter night.
Skyler asked her, “What do you want to do on our daddy/daughter night?”
Avery responded, “I want to go get a daddy/daughter ball.”
Skyler: “What is a daddy/daughter ball?”
Avery: “I don’t know”
Skyler: “Where do we go to find a daddy/daughter ball?”
Avery: “I don’t know.”
Skyler: “If we go to the store will you know what it is when you see it?”
Avery: “Yes.”
Skyler and Avery ended up spending some of their time that night at my dad’s house having dinner and then he brought her home and they watched a movie together, he even let her sleep in our bed with him. The next morning he got her dressed and did her hair and took her out and bought her a pair of Tinker Bell shoes because she didn’t have any cute shoes to go with her outfit.
I love that he took such good care of our daughter while I was gone, it is comforting to know that when I am not there that she is taken care of. I also love that he styled her hair!
3. Skyler is always trying to teach our children new things. He is teaching Kaden to be strong by helping him to sit up and hold his head up. He is teaching Avery how to speak properly by correcting her when she says something the wrong way and teaching her big words that are so cute to hear her say in the correct context! He also teaches me new things everyday. He teaches me by his example how to be positive.
Skyler is a great husband and father. I am so blessed to have him in my life. I love you honey!
