When our oldest daughter (Pookies) began asking where I was going every day, my wife explained that I was going to work to ‘make dollars so we can have clothes and food and toys’. It was a simple way of explaining that Daddy’s a salaryman. Well, our youngest daughter (Peanut) is now asking the same thing. Every day she asks, “Where daddy doh-wing?” (’Doh-wing’ is how she says ‘going’, because she can’t say the ‘g’ yet.) We explain that I’m going to work to make dollars. She calls them ‘dollow’ (rhymes with ‘follow’). :)

Yesterday Peanut asked her Sissy (her name for her big sister, Pookies) where Daddy was ‘doh-wing’. Pookies explained, in a voice that sounded much like my wife, “Daddy’s going to work to make dollars so we can have clothes and food and toys.” It was so cute!

4. stshores24 - January 6, 2009: I am definitely lucky. Raising kids has its tough times, but they bring indescribable joy to my wife and I. Every day is a new learning experience for them, and they help keep us young and looking at things in a fresh way.
