Day #865 (Thu., May 17, 2012) – Deep Sea Diving Honey
6:30am and I’m up as Katie is up. My wife handed her off to me as she has been up since 3am with her and wanted to go back to bed. We are watching a bit of “Little Bear” on television right now. I hope to put her to bed soon…but we’ll see… Looks like another tired daddy at work today…
7:00am – I just put Katie to bed. She was still wimpering a bit when I put her in her crib so I decided that I would tell her a story. It went something like this… Little bear and his friends cat and owl always had loads of fun playing together. They would fish and hike and fly kites but today little bear was rather hungry. When cat and owl asked him what he wanted to eat he said “Honey”, but there was a bit of a problem…bees guard their honey and will sting you. Cat and owl said that they had a deep sea diving friend who could help them out so they borrowed his deep sea diving outfit. Little bear put on this outfit and climbed a tree and got some honey. This outfit was so thick that the bees could not sting through it…
As soon as I said that little bear climbed the tree and got the honey in a deep sea diving out fit little Katie’s eyes rolled back in her head and she fell backwards sound asleep. I’m sure that she just got too tired to stay awake but it sure looked like she was saying “Oh dad…that’s the craziest story ever”… 🙂
We go through Play Doh (see photo to the right) like crazy these days. Most of the time it is left out of the package late at night as we are either too tired to remember to put it back or too tired to even find it. As a result it dries out and becomes too hard to work with.
This evening I was trying to fill out some forms for our real estate agent so that she could list our house in Cary. Katie sensed that I was into something serious…so she wanted more than anything to bother daddy. First she tried to run off with the forms. Once I got them back she started crawling on my back and tried to make her way to my head. Once I was done I chased her around the house and gave her a good tickle!
