Put me in, coach!

We are gonna play soccer one day on this field by our home.  And we're gonna keep coming back until someone let's us play on their team.   Put me in, coach!

Love letter from Dad #10

We hold hands and say grace at meals together and it's become ritual enough that you little guys sometimes call for it when we forget.   I commonly say the most words and we always close with the group chant "1,2,3 ...GRACE."   But last week to our surprise and delight, Koh led grace with "I love you Mom" and Abe immediately followed "I love you Mom and Dad."   OK fine ...we saw no need to further embellish that dinner blessing.

Best of all I hear you express these words almost daily to your favorite people as in "I love you Grandma" and even to each other.  I can tell you it's heartwarming for all to hear, and it seems like you even understand what you're saying.  At 3 years old?  Is it a stage that will fade?  Only time will tell I suppose.

It's sure a joy for me to see you feel love and affection at your age and to be able to express it so plainly, innocently, spontaneously, and for a reason at that moment only you have in mind. I think that's great, and I hope you don't outgrow it.

I love you little guys.   -Dad
