Why we love Daddies: Our Friday Night Camp-In

Doesn't it seem like Daddies always do things that are more fun? I try to do fun things, but they just don't seem to compare. My fun things are outings, going to the park, or making play dough. Daddy fun things are always a little more extravagant. For example, last night Patrick decided we should set up the tent in our living room. Just for fun. When he suggests things like this, I tend to think mostly about the work it entails, while he thinks solely about the fun. So we attempted to set it up in our living room. It was a bust. Our tent is actually bigger than our living room. But that didn't stop Patrick. He then decided we ought to try to set it up in Kaiya's room. We had to move furniture around and it still barely fit, but we got it set up. Next we put Kaiya's playpen and an air mattress inside and we were all set. Kaiya played in it for a little while before it was time for dinner, bath, and bedtime. I thought she might be nervous about sleeping in a strange place, but she seemed to like it. She kept pointing at the walls inside and saying "tent" every two minutes. Very cute. She fell asleep and we went in when we were ready for bed, and we all slept in a tent. In Kaiya's room. And cleaning it all up this morning was a lot of work. But it was a lot of fun and we made a memory. That's why we love Daddies.
