Carl’s first Father’s Day came and went and we had lots of fun. I started the day by making Carl a cake, wrapping his presents, getting Ella fed and dressed, and allowing Carl the opportunity to sleep while I did all of this. When Carl finally came down the stairs he was greeted by Ella and his presents. The gifts weren’t much since Ella doesn’t have any income yet. Ella got Carl a frame with a poem about fatherhood around the edges and her footprints inside. She had made this at daycare. Ella also got Carl an electric griddle for making memories over Sunday breakfasts. There was also a photo book and a card.
We got immediate use out of the griddle then Carl was encouraged to just sit and read his paper and do nothing.
In the afternoon we went to the parents house for a bbq and to relax over there. The whole day was full of relaxing and I hope Carl enjoyed that, although Ella won't remember much.
