- When Mommy pretends to beat me up he always comes running to my rescue and shields me with his body.
- Just like when he was a new born, I can still lull him to sleep by softly singing Silent Night.
- He almost always gives me a big, tight hug and a kiss when I come home from work.
- He almost always yells for daddy (instead of mommy, sorry) when he sees our truck pull into Grandma's yard when we go to pick him up.
- He likes falling asleep on my stomach.
- Mommy's cuddle time on the bed with him is almost always ruined for her when I climb into be bed with them because I start getting most of the hugs and kisses (sorry again mommy).
- Couch potato days when he just sits and watches a little bit of TV with me, usually the Dog Whisperer on NatGeo.
- He makes me throw him up in the air when he pretends he is Ironman about to fly off into the sky.
- We both love a good escabeche, a spicy onion and chicken soup eaten with corn tortillas.
- At bedtime he likes to take over my pillow and snuggle up next to me.
- He likes to make me run all over the house with him, it's like mini marathons.
- Sometimes we just look at each other and we both begin to laugh uncontrollably for no reason.
- Most times he will willingly share his snacks with me but he always gives mommy a hard time.
- Sometimes he likes to pee at the same time with me, sharing the toilet, and usually smiling and laughing the whole time.
From the days when my wife was pregnant I told her that I looked forward to the times when Squirt would be old enough to walk, run around, talk, joke around and laugh with me. I admit sometimes its tough to find energy and patience but these are the days I have looked forward to for so long and I love my relationship with my 2 year old son.
