Day with Dadda

Today Dadda spent the morning with Odin. He started by taking Odin to open preschool while Momma hung out with a friend with a newborn. Both Dadda and Odin had a blast playing with the other children and parents. Dadda commented to Momma that there were just as many dads as moms at preschool!
After preschool Odin spent the afternoon with Momma. Odin was so tired he actually slept most of the afternoon only to wake up approximately 5 minutes before Dadda came home. Odin woke up saying, "Dadda!" And then like magic, Dadda walked in the door! There sure is something special between Odin and Dadda.

While at dinner tonight, with Odin sitting on Dadda's lap, Dadda promised Odin a bath after dinner. Well, as soon as Odin finished his dinner he walked to the bathroom and started to "grunt" at the door. When his calls were not answered (both Momma and Dadda were still eating) he walked to the table, grabbed Momma's finger and asked her to open the door. Once inside the bathroom he started saying "Dadda, Dadda..." Momma tried to explain that Dadda was still eating, but Odin could not be swayed! Dadda had promised a bath after dinner and as far as Odin was concerned dinner was OVER and it was bath time. So, true to his word, Dadda stopped eating and promptly gave Odin a bath.
This past weekend we had dinner at a friends house, Hans and Hannah. Their youngest daughter, Signe, had a great time with Odin. She is 6 years old wants a younger brother (both Hans and Hannah have told us that she will have to be happy with her older sister and brother! ha!). Odin really enjoyed having the attention of an older child and had lots of fun playing with Signe.
