Daddy's Homecoming

Savannah is very adventurous and at her young age of 9 well...almost 10 months she is a little dare devil.  She really likes to climb up things, through things, over things...the climbing never ends.  For a few weeks she has been climbing on the laundry basket.  (for some cute pictures check out our smugmug site.)  Most recently she has been climbing on the basket and looking out the window.  The other day she did this when Dad (Josh) was coming home from work.  It looks like she is waiting for him.  To honor that we sing the following:

Daddy's Homecoming

I'm so glad when daddy come home, glad as I can be;

Clap my hands and shout for joy, then climb upon his knee,

Put my arms around his neck, hug him tight like this,

Pat his cheeks, then give him what?  A great big kiss.

(kiss!)

{Children's Songbook 1989 IRI}

Savannah loves her Daddy.  When he comes home she reaches for him.  She claps her hands with him (and waves).  She giggles and cuddles and says "ada da ada" to him.  She climbs all over him when he is on the floor or on the bed with her.  She hugs and squeezes him tight when she is sad or scared.    She pats his face, not really his cheeks, mostly his eyes and the top or side of his head.  She has been known to open mouth kiss his cheek on days he has shaved and only after we play our little sucking kiss game (I will have to explain that in person-it sounds really bad here).

Savannah and Josh have a great daddy-daughter relationship.  There's nothin' but love!!!
