I am married to the greatest dad in the whole world. While taking Wee One to his room for night-night last night, I stepped on part of a set of letters that spell out his name but they've got wheels & are magnetically connected so it's really a train, I guess. (which he of course loves.) Anyway, the angle was just right to break the wooden axle to which the wheels were connected. Instead of just letting it go & relaxing for the rest of the evening, my husband went out to the utility room, got out his microtools, whittled the broken pieces down, glued the axle back together, & reassembled the train car for his little boy. Maybe all dads do that, but I haven't seen it.

They also play this game, similar to hide&seek but not really. Here is a transcript of same:
Wee One: High chair!
Hubs: High chair, have you seen Wee One?
WO: No?
H: No?
(Wee One runs off to find something else to ask)
WO: Movie! *(Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit game)
H: Movie, have you seen Daniel?
WO: No?
H: No?
(off to find something else)
WO: Jirafa! (Giraffe)
H: Jirafa, have you seen Daniel?
WO: No?
H: No?
And on, and on, and on...
It is really funny to watch. One of these days when we get a video camera, we will record & post it. One of these days when we join the 21st century...
