Special Gifts for My Special Dads

Fathers Day has always been a hard holiday on me. Mostly because I always remember not having a father around to be proud of. This year I am determined to show my husband how grateful I am that he is being a great dad to Caleb and husband to me! And to let my father in law know that I appreciate his support and guidance for both me and Dean as we try to be good parents and Christians. Today we (Caleb and I)went out to work on getting their presents. The saleslady asked if I would like to chose something for my dad, and I laughed and said no way, just shopping for my husband and my father in law. She just said ok and didnt ask any more about it. I aslo ended up getting my mom a late mothers day gift cause we were broke when motheres day rolled around last month. She is the only one who knows she is getting a gift, mostly cause I had to tell someone so that I wouldnt be tempted to tell Dean.

I had a great time picking out their gifts and so did Caleb. Considering how fussy he has been he did great today. I think being out and about helps him. Someone asked if he is always with his mommy and I said yes. I guess the fact he shyed away from all the admirers of his bright blue eyes and cheery grin showed he was attached to me. He kept being shy most of the day but there was this one girl while we were out, she was probably my age, and Caleb just kept smiling at her! She loved it. He made me feel so proud when he was so good despite his aching tooth. He fell right to sleep on the way home and even stayed asleep while I transferred him from his car seat to his crib. which is nice cause after being out all afternoon I need some down time before we have to run out and pick up Dean and then come home to deal with the mess he(Caleb) will make as always at dinner. So I think I will sit down and rest a few moments while I can.
