And how wonderful he can be? He's proven to be a really wonderful dad, like I always knew he would be. But what is also really great is how he is such a cool uncle too.
Yesterday while I was getting everything ready for our company, he was creating a little scavenger hunt for our 5 year old nephew. He went through all this effort writing clues and hiding them all over the house. He was really creative with it and the way he wrote the clues helped Sam with his reading skills too.
When Sam got here and we told him about it he didn't want to play though. But my MIL was like, oh come on, it will be fun. After he found the first two clues he was totally hooked. He was all over the house and so excited everytime he found something hidden under the crib, behind the trash can, in a plant, and even one he hid in my BIL's pocket when he wasn't looking. He was sounding out the words and reading the clue aloud to all of us. It was just so great to see him so excited and really having a good time. So every clue he found had a letter and when you got all the letters you write them in order to reveal a message.
Chris was originally going to write "Sam is cool" but I said why don't you write something funny. So we came up with Sam's favorite little joke. He thinks its so funny when he asks you "Guess what?" and you say "What?" He'll say "chicken butt" and laugh. So that was the message: Guess what? Chicken Butt. He was laughing and laughing when he read it finally after all that hunting. Chris also planted a bonus clue at the end that led to a dollar bill he had stuffed into Sam's coat pocket when he came in.
I really look forward to all the fun things he will think of to play with Aiden when he gets older.
