Big Pink Fratangos

Posted by mobile phone:

On Saturdays, Girl2 and I walk to breakfast at a local cafe. When you walk and hold hands with a child, you are the biggest, strongest, smartest, handsomest, and coolest guy in the world. Today, she was criss-crossing her legs as she walked and declared she was a big pink “fratango”. If you don’t know, fratangos are those pink birds in Florida that stand on one leg all the time (flamingos). Today, I was the coolest fratango ever.

The rest of her life…

Posted by mobile phone:

This is pretty much the view I will have of her for the rest of our time together. Her dirty face stained with laughter, her wild hair flying behind her as she runs off into some new adventure. She is spending more and more time away from me and becoming more headstrong and independent every day. That’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.

There’s that moment every parent goes through when you realize the days of your baby following you are numbered. Soon, you start following her and spend the rest of your life just trying to keep up. You just have to keep in mind that she is not running away from you, she is just rushing out to greet the world.
