Father’s Day Sunday

8:00

Dad combs my cowlicks down and makes sure I look great for church.

8:15

We drive in my dad’s big car to church. I am not supposed to kick the leather seats, but sometimes I do it anyway.

8:35

Mom gets me out of the car and we start into church. Mom reaches out to hold my hand and I reach out for my dad’s. I love it when we are all holding hands.

11:00

Mom teaches my Sunday school class. Both she and I watch for the door to see if dad has arrived to pick us up.

11:25

Dad and I head to the living room to play so, lunch can be made. I love to help my mom cook lunch. Dad thinks mom can do it by herself on Sundays.

11:50

Dad takes me to the bathroom to wash my hands before lunch. Mom sometimes forgets hand washing. Dad never forgets.

1:30

Dad takes me upstairs to my room for nap time. If I ask him nicely, I bet I can get him to sleep in the extra twin bed in my room. Dad loves to take Sunday naps anyway.

3:30

I usually wake up before my dad. Sometimes I sneak out of bed and leave him in my room.

3:35

I will ask my mom for a snack. If my dad comes downstairs before I am finished, he will try to sneak some of my snack. I will need to eat it quickly.

3:45-5:45

Dad will work on paperwork, have a bible study time, and work in the yard. I love it when he does yard work. I can help with that. If he is going to work on paperwork, I will go get my bag of junk mail and work on paperwork too.

5:45

We have dinner after saying grace. I always thank God for my food. Today I will thank God for my dad too.

6:45

Dad will load the dishwasher and I will supervise. I would love to climb up on the dishwasher door so that I can look into the sink better, but my dad won’t let me. I have to stand on a stepstool to watch the process.

7:00

My mom and dad will play hide and seek with me or chase me around or play with my trucks. They say I have too much energy left and won’t go to sleep without some exercise.

8:30

Mom will take me to bed. Dad will come up and put my blanket on me. He is the one that knows how to do it right.
8:45

Dad will come and check on me. If I start talking to him, he will sit on my bed and we will have wonderful chat about the day.

9:15

Mom has already come to check on me. It will be my dad’s turn to check one last time before I go to sleep.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Father’s Day and my mom does too.
