Just Like You, Daddy

During this past month, Daddy has become Christopher's idol. He worships everything Daddy does, has, says...everything! When Daddy's around, Mommy's suddenly not allowed to help with anything. =) So Andy's been feeding him, playing with him, bathing him and putting him to bed, because Christopher will have it no other way. Too bad Andy hates it so much! ;)

Andy hurt his neck awhile back and was having some severe spasms that were making him nauseated from the pain. Drugged up on pain killers and muscle relaxants, he spent the day on our couch...and Christopher never left his side except when Mommy forced him to take a nap.
I had bought some vanilla nutrition drinks for Andy, because he was having a hard time eating much and he needed something to take his pills with. Of course, Christopher wanted to taste it and finished Andy's whole drink! So the next time, I dug out a pediasure I had in the back of a cupboard and gave it to him when Andy had his. He was so proud to have a drink "just like you, Daddy."

One evening while I was at work, Andy kept the kids and he and Christopher made omelets.
"Wanna help you, Daddy?"

He was thrilled that he got to stir help cook the eggs, "just like you, Daddy."
























And of course...they ate them, and Christopher had eggs on his plate, "just like you, Daddy."


















Christopher, Kaela and I ran a quick errand to Kohls the other day. As we passed the toy section, I "lost" my son as he headed directly to play with them. So we spent a little time playing with the toys, and then he found a computer. He LOVES the computer and was very excited about the idea of having his own. It happened to be on a huge clearance sale, so we bought it and brought it home. As soon as Andy walked through the door, Christopher went running to him exclaiming..."I got a puter just like you, Daddy!"

Having Daddy play with him on his new computer wasn't enough. Christopher helped Andy get his computer out and then showed him where to lie down beside him on the rug so they could both work on their computers. I love it!

Sadly, we did end up returning the computer because the programs on it were a little too old for him and the screen wasn't backlit so it was really hard to see anything. But it was fun while it lasted, and fortunately he hasn't missed it...he took it back himself and we exchanged it for a small child-digital camera "Just like Daddy's." I'm so thankful there's so much love between them.
