Kimball’s current mission in life is to be “just like Daddy,” and that is how it should be. Joseph and Kimball are the best of pals right now. They even have a special greeting that they do when Joseph comes home from work. Joseph rides his bike since he is only 2 blocks from the office and 4 blocks from the hospital. He usually calls before coming home and I open the door so Kimball can watch out the storm door for Joseph. I always know when the two of them see each other because Kimball starts shaking his head in their special way. I made the mistake yesterday of doing their greeting to Kimball and he took off for the door saying “Daddy”. I had to quickly smooth things over before Kimball started to cry because Daddy wasn’t really home.
So, I go into Kimball’s room last night as we are starting to get him ready for bed and I saw this:
Before bed each night Joseph will play some hymns on the recorder while I change Kimball’s diaper and get him in his pajamas. Last night Kimball was in Joseph’s chair playing the recorder and had the hymnal wide open. He would play a few notes and then turn to the next song and that continued until Joseph went into Kimball’s room.
I’m glad Kimball and Joseph are buddies. I don’t mind in the least because Kimball saves plenty of hugs and snuggles for me.
