...is it incredibly geekish that I'm really excited about fathers day on Sunday?
I'm sure I looked like a complete loony in the card shop earlier - holding an array of options over the pram for the little dude's perusal.
'do you think daddy will like this one? or what about this one?'
yes, probably looked like a bit of a crazy lady.
and I admit, I did spend a small fortune on pointless silliness (photograph to follow - daddy is in the room just now - don't want to spoil the surprise!!), but a. it's his first fathers day, so I want it to be special, and b. he did set the bar pretty high on mothers day - I got beautiful flowers and chocolates, and the noodle was still only a bump!
so yes, I think it's only fair he does a little better than the traditional pair of socks :)
oh, and I may have picked up an 'I ♥ my daddy' tee in the George sale, for the little dude to wear on Sunday.
oooh, and I did just order this lovely book from play.com too, because it looks super sweet, and it was only a fiver. and it's good to encourage babies to like books, right? :D
but that's it, honest. no more spending.
other than to buy *MY* dad a card - evidence of mushy mummy brain exhibit A: go to card shop, buy card for the daddy, card for my daddy from the little dude (cheeky that - since when do grandads get cards too?!), card for my daddy from my dog (because he's been walking her for me since the noodle came along, and I thought it was funny :P), yet completely forgot to get my daddy a card from me. his daughter. oops. back to town tomorow then.
what's probably even geekier though, is that I was daydreaming earlier about when the noodle's old enough to be giving daddy home made cards and presents - can't wait for all that :D
Yes, he's 8 weeks old. I'll stop wishing the years away now :P
what's everyone else got planned for Sunday I wonder? I'm intrigued as to whether people still make a big deal of it as the children get older?
Or whether the children just pretend to humour their crazy-lady mummy? ;)
