First Father's Day

Daddy did as many daddies do on Father's Day. He abandoned his son for golf. Well, for the morning, anyway. Daddy looks forward to the day when Dash is old enough to join Daddy on the links. Free caddies are hard to come by.

Eighteen holes and two dozen lost balls later -- what happens when you don't play for 9 months -- Daddy came home to a great present from Dash and Mommy: a microplane grater and nutmeg. (Who knew nutmeg actually came from a big nut?) The hint was clear. Daddy made his patent-pending vanilla french toast for brunch, adding fresh nutmeg to the mix. Two words: Yum meeee.

Mommy relieved Daddy of all other duties that day, bless her.

Silly Daddy was so busy relaxing that he forgot to take any pictures of Dash. But early the next morning, yesterday, Daddy was in for another treat. Dash, who long ago decided he's too big to sleep on top of his parents, took a nice break on the summit of Mt. Daddy.

UPDATE: Daddy plum forgot to mention that yesterday, Dash started swim lessons. He took to the pool like Shamu's long-lost, only slightly smaller brother. Daddy is proud to report that Aquaboy actually dove underwater once. Sadly, Daddy's iPhone is not waterproof.

OF course Dash took a break on the top of Mt. Daddy. The high distance he had to climb Tuckered him plum out....Oooooo, burn!
And did you discover the iphone was not waterproof before or after trying it?
