Second highlight

(My apologies if I’ve blogged this already, but I can’t find it and didn’t want to lose it).

Lauren gave me a great gift when she was 8 months old.  I’ve told very few people about it, and I figure I will keep it to myself until her wedding.  Sam’s gift was just a month or so ago, but just as precious.  He has a habit when very frustrated of using a phrase that begins “Daddy, you’re making me…” followed by something upsetting like ‘cry’, ‘hurt’, or even ‘hit you’.  A little while ago we were playing at nothing in particular, and he smiled at me and said “Daddy, you’re making me hug you”.  And he was right.
