| We gave him our first cards. This idea I stole from someone, but it was fitting because we always mimic 'Guess How much I love you' and say crazy amounts of how much we love each other (this is something David and the girls do often) |
 |
| For Bella's birthday she received this awesome play dough/ice cream making station, and they all went to work. |
Then during breakfast we gave him our other cards. We basically had three types of cards. The first 'hug' card: "I love you....this much". Then I had the girls answer a 'Mad Lib' card where they were prompted by what to fill in the blank, and third, an 'all about my daddy' card that is complete fill-in-the-blank.
For example: (Sophia's). You're as nice as a (nice animal), she put 'spider'. A day without you is like having to eat (something yucky), 'dirt' all day long. And my favorite. If I had all the money in the world I would buy you a (something daddy really loves) 'wife'.
Bella's below: your as handsome as a (good looking animal) 'kitty cat'. You are so strong you can even lift a (something really heavy) 'box'. And so on...
The 'All about my daddy' survey. Here are a few from Bella:
My daddy's name is: Daddy
His weight is '9' kg.
He knows how to... 'I don't know'.
His favorite restaurant is... 'Jiaozi' (dumplings).
He likes to...'go in his office'.
From Sophia:
He likes to vacation at...'the Rumples'
His favorite dessert is....'cheesecake'
He doesn't like.....'things in his office that are really old'
He can't....'turn himself into a girl'
His likes to....'go on daddy dates with us'
One day he will....'let me shoot a real gun'
I will always....'be close to him (my daddy)'
I filled one out too just for fun. Here are a few:
He likes to eat....'er kuai' (a kind of noodle dish here)
He knows how to...'lead and love well'
He likes to vacation at...Wrightsville Beach OR/AND Thailand
He doesn't like...driving in China
He likes to...work out, be a Father
One day he will....finish his other Master's degree (smiley face---this summer!)
I will always....adore him and our friendship
I laminated all of these and then made a cover and put them all on a little ring.
The cover just had quotes, I said, say one thing about your daddy:
Sophia: 'I love you a million times'
Bella: 'thank you for hugs and kisses'
Tobin: (in a whisper) Baba (chinese for daddy)
Me: 'you are my hero'
Happy Father's day, David. You are An. Amazing. Father. I learn so much by watching you tenderly love our children. I will keep telling the girls that they need to marry someone just like you!
