My Daddy is my Favorite Pal...

It is coincidence that Father's Day happens to be this week. This past week, I have noticed Anders doing special little things to show how much he idolizes Christian. The other morning, he decided that he should put every hat Christian owns on his head...in the same direction that Christian wears them. My favorite thing he did happened a couple of days ago at the gym daycare while I was volunteering there. Anders was playing with two cute little girls that were dying to play house with him. The older of the girls kept asking Anders, "do you want to be the daddy or do you want to be the brother?" Anders simply responded, "no, I be da Pharmacist." The little girl was getting so frustrated with him, she repeated, "you want to be the Pharmacist? No, I'm going to be the mommy, you need to be the daddy or the brother because you're a boy." Anders just repeated very matter-of-fact, "no, I be da Pharmacist." I was sitting across the room giggling to myself. I'm so glad I got to witness that!


I just had to add this picture of Anders' new accomplishment. I don't know if other 2 1/2 year olds have difficulty putting their pants and underwear on by themselves, but Anders has really struggled. I always end up doing everything I can to help him, which usually involves me holding his pants in one hand (with Eva in the other) and we somehow manage to find some creative way to work his feet into the right holes. Well today, Anders decided he was going to try it himself (thankfully!). His feet got in the right holes, but as you can see, his pajama pants ended up being inside-out. I thought it was so cute because he was SO proud of himself. Way to go Bud! What you can't see is he gave up on the underwear all together...therefore, he is going commando! That's my boy!
