Well, we all know that Carter is sports-obsessed. Lately he has been really into skateboarding as we pass the skate park on our way to the baseball field. I explained to him that the skate park is where skaters do tricks.

My mistake. Our living room is now a "Skate Park", and since I refuse to buy him a skateboard this young (for obvious reasons), he has decided to use his truck that he got for his 1st birthday as his "skateboarding truck". Those who don't believe me that the kid has NEVER, I repeat, NEVER pushed cars and trucks around can now see what he utilizes such gifts as...

Pushing off-

Practicing his "ollie"-

You may wonder why he knows what an ollie is.... well, I let him choose books at the library for kicks. Last week he chose the books "Tennis, for the Beginner", "Baseball Rules and Guidelines", and a "How to Skateboard, Learn From the Pros" video.

One giant "Happy Father's Day" to my hunny, one of the greatest dads I know!

Reasons why he's an awesome dad:

-He knows what meconium is, was the first to change a meconium diaper, and also continues to take on the most challenging dirty diapers.
-He does bath and bedtime with Carter EVERY night since Carter was a baby.
-He is so happy to see his kids and spend time with them. He has never complained about "having" to watch them.
-He is patient (much more so than I am--if you have read a few posts below, you will agree!)
-He is gentle
-He is affectionate
-He's a great teacher (again, much more than I am)
-He can make a mean quesadilla (essential for being a dad or bachelor for that matter)
-He is a wonderful husband and is already teaching our boys how to love and respect their Mommy!

Anyone who knows Jason would agree and have much more to say about how great he is. I love you, Babe. Thanks for being such an incredible model for what our boys are to become!

Happy Father's Day!
