Fatherhood

Sometimes her “abracadabra” comes out more like “alibaba,” but who am I to judge a magic word?  I just wonder where she heard it.  Either way, I’ve gotten pretty good at dropping into instant sleep (with snores and everything, of course) as soon as she says it. Lately, she’ll wait until my eyes are close and then start saying “closer… clooooser…”  I crack almost every time and start laughing, which sends her into a fit of giggles.  My kid is crazy.  Must’ve gotten it from Stacy, ‘cause I’m totally sane, as proven by my shirt.

While you can’t really see it, my shirt says “I’m not crazy, my mother had me tested.”  (You can get a better look at it in Fatherhood #90.)  See?  Undeniable proof.  Stacy’s wearing a Celtic knotwork axe design from http://shop.webomator.com/celtic-art-works/ while Kia is wearing her much-loved pony shirt.
