Dad's Eye View

I’m really sad at how fast the days are becoming shorter and shorter. At least, from a daylight perspective. My work days certainly aren’t getting any shorter!

My little girl really started to become more interactive in the Spring when the days were trending longer and longer. So a few times a week after I get home from work we’ll take a walk out by the pool and sit down for a bit. She’s surprisingly still when we sit out there. I suppose it has something to do with all of the exciting things to look at out there. Squirrels and chipmunks running all over the place, birds flying around, and all of the trees blowing in the wind (and dumping crap in the pool!).

Earlier in the Summer, Karen’s parents got us a “sporty” chair to put by the pool. It doesn’t exactly go with the Pottery Barn decor, but it’s a comfortable chair and Courtney really LOVES it. She’ll crawl around on my lap from one side to the other pulling herself up on the arms and back. She’s fascinated by all of the screws and ski parts that comprise the chair. And the chair has a pleasant woody smell to it.

Anyway, I’m quite sad that our time by the pool in the evenings is coming to an end for a rather long time from her perspective. Sure, she won’t remember to miss it, but I will. So yet another reason to dislike the end of Summer.

And just when she was getting all excited about The Big Green Egg!
