On Saturday, while I was at school in Lakeland, Joey took Will to a birthday party that was held at Uncle Donald's Farm. I really wanted to go, especially since it would be Will's first trip there. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted it to be a father/son trip.
As mother's, we typically get to see things before daddy's do. I stayed home with Will until he was 18 months, so I was able to share many special moments and witness many "firsts". It's more fun to be there than to hear about the story second hand. But I'm not selfish about it; In fact I feel sorry for daddy's. So it's great when they get to tell us about an experience.
When I got home, Joey told me all about their day, which started with them having breakfast together. Once they got to the farm, he took Will around to all the different animals. Will even got to feed them! How fun is that! Later, they went on a hay ride and Will fed hay to the "moo-cows". Will LOVES moo-cows (especially the one that walks around at Chick-fil-A).
After hearing all about their day, I started really missing my little man. It was about 4pm and time for Will to wake from his afternoon nap. The first thing Will said when I woke him was "I want my birf-day cake". Joey just laughed, he knew Will would ask for the cake...because he had promised it to him...after his nap.
Joey, I know you will get to experience many more "firsts" with Will. And I can't wait to hear all about them!
