Team Daddy

This weekend Natalie had to go to NYC for work. She picked the best time ever. I came down with the stomach flu Saturday night and she was out the door before 5am Sunday leaving me with the tiny terror for 3 days. So I was left with two choices. Sit around the living room all day with the kid driving me crazy and climbing all over me, or, take her outside and let her run it out. I decided to take her outside and let her run it out.

It actually worked out good with Natalie leaving on Sunday instead of Monday because it gave me more time to be with Adri instead of just driving her down to Miami and picking her up everyday after work like I normally do when Natalie is gone. I think it's important to spend time with my daughter. Girls who are close to their daddies are less likely to be sluts later on in life and I plan on raising my daughter right. So Sunday we created Team Daddy. I ask her who's team she is on and she puts out her arm with a clinched fist and shouts "Team Daddy". It makes her laugh every time. Natalie got jealous of Team Daddy when she got home and tried to create Team Mommy. I told her there is no such thing so stop with the insanity. There is only Team Daddy and you're either with us or against us. Shirts will be coming for all Team Daddy members in the future.

Back to Sunday. I remembered that I had bought Adri the shirt in the picture long before she was even born and she has never worn it. So I busted it out and we did a photo shoot. The neighbors came over and had to get in it too. Those girls are always running all over my yard and come over every time I'm out there. After taking pictures Adri and I were walking through the yard and she saw the chair by the canal. She remember that we had ice cream cones there the night before so she points and tells me "sit, ice cream". This kid is trouble.

So after giving her some ice cream by the canal I ended up a couple houses down the street with the neighbors. The girls convinced me to jump on the trampoline with them because I am a big person and it's more fun. So Adri and I went on the trampoline and Amanda recorded us jumping. Following my video with Adri I played crack the egg with the girls. It's not hard to crack the egg when I'm the fat guy and they girls weigh 45-50 pounds. Holding Adri did make it a little harder though.

On Monday after work I still wasn't feeling so great and I didn't feel like cooking dinner so I took Adri to Scrubys on the way home from work. She actually behaved herself pretty well too. Every time I take her out she brings all kinds of attention to us. All the customers and waitresses thought she was the cutest thing. Picture of us eating below.

I had a fun time with my Lil Chub Butt this weekend. She was so tired at the end of the day that she after bath time she asked for the pillow on the couch and was asleep in under two minutes.

Other new Adri developments:

• I have become the guy she tattles to when Natalie tells her no. She runs at to me and yells "Daddy". My little tattler.  
• Adri loves Dumbo and the Lion King. Wednesday I came home and she was sitting all alone on the couch and she didn't even say hi to me when I came in. She was too busy with The Lion King. This was a complete 180 from Monday when I picked her up from Tia Frijoles house. I came in the door and Adri ran up and gave me a hug. I had to go to the bathroom before driving back to Coral Springs and Adri was crying because I was leaving her for 2 a whole minute. So I gave her a hug first and then she ran off to Tia Frijole, turned, ran back, gave me a hug, ran away, back again, repeat, repeat, repeat. Tia Frijole thought it was the cutest thing ever but eventually that game had to stop and Adri was banging on the door the whole time I was in the bathroom.
• Adri loves canned Jackfruit. Yeah in Florida you can buy canned Jackfruit (Reggae style). I can't wait until another year when I have hundreds of pounds a year coming off my tree but for now we must settle with buying it in the can in the winter and RobertIsHere in the summer. I'm just glad that she isn't like her mom and that someone else in the house besides me likes Jackfruit.
• Adri likes to ask me for the Chipmunks music every time I drive. I think it's time for me to look for those cds. We got her the Chipmunks Christmas album on Natalie's iPhone a couple weeks ago. Natalie tried to tell me it's annoying but then over the next couple days I found her listening to the music all by herself. Yeah....

Look at what I have to deal with.

And that would be a Natalie face.
