I wrote the first chapter of this one when Mattis was under a year and now that Mattis is 2 half as he says I thought it was time for chapter 2 on this subject.
1. That he picks up on anything he hears and says it when you least expect it. example he loves watching Back to Future and he has picked up on the magazine that Biff has in the second one Oh la la and no says it out of the blue.
2. He loves the following movies since they have cars and trains in them, Back to the Future series and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to name a few.
we have had to resort to saying he can dream about Doc and Marty or Chitty when we put him to bed because he wants to watch Back to the Future or Chitty over and over. Tonight he was in a silly mood and said he will dream of Back Future and Mayonaise. As i said out of the blue comes stuff that makes no sense.
3. There is a Star Wars movie with a frog in it when he asks to watch the Star Wars with the frog it is Episode I Jar Jar is the frog.
4. That they pick up on technology with ease he can now work the tablet and download and surf the web.
5. That when he wants something there is now changing his mind unless you distract him with silliness by acting like a monkey or being iron man and eating him. I do this by using a deep voice and a combination of the beginning of Iron man by Black Sabbath.
6. That he wants to be just like you he now has to shave every morning like daddy. I remember doing that with my dad.
7. That the simple things are amazing such as Ants or even a leaf on a walk. That the inquisitive little eyes see everything and the little years hear all.
If you say something they repeat it like parrots and is what you don't want them too.
8. That they bring out your child and you do things you would not have done before like be a monkey or just be silly. They break down the walls we build up being adults.
9. That you have quick reflexes when you need to protect them you become their superhero.
10. That you need to draw his favourite characters over and over again whether you want to or not.
11. That he is always there to help and that he will just make toast because he can reach the bread and stick it in the toaster. He doesn't want toast he just wants to watch the bread pop.
12. That your food is his food what you have is better than what is on his plate even if it is identical.
13. That everything in the world needs to be now no questions asked.
14. That when you are tired you can sleep anywhere that a new toy makes a good bedtime companion.
15. That when you start something it needs to be routine. I started having his stuffed puppy kiss him good night by pretending to lick him like a puppy and now it is nightly.. I now need to kiss the puppy and the froggy's and Mattis good night as well.
16. That he can only go to bed when he has everyone in bed with him 2 froggy's, puppy, Grinch, stuffed lighting Mcqueen and 1 stuffed Doc car.
Yes the bed is crowded and from time to time a car needs to join the party.
17. That it is impossible to keep the house clean all the time. you clean and he has to bring out more toys or whatever.
18. That it is easy when you go full speed ahead your legs or head can get ahead of you and boom.
19. That the simple things are worth laughing about.
20. That when you ask what they want it is usually the same thing to eat.
All in all I enjoy fatherhood and what it brings to life the enjoyment it brings. I always love coming home to him or picking him up from daycare or school as he calls it. Because he is a big boy now!
He is my world and I am his world he loves just being with his parents. That the world should be simpler and we all need to stop and admire it since we forget so many things as we get older and that we just don't have time for the simple things in life.
