Week #20: Papa is a Pro

 Papa showing Hazel Daddy's power tools

Well this is Papa's last week of watching little Hazel all day - at least for now.   Papa is totally a babysitting pro. He even has mastered sporting the Baby Bjorn.  He know exactly what Hazel wants when she wants it.  Did I say how adorable it is to be able to watch him with her?  Every morning they would follow me outside,  Hazel  would wave goodbye and blow kisses,with Papa's help of course. I hear she did that same for her Daddy's send off to work as well. Papa and Hazel had a wonderful time together and I totally think Papa will have withdrawal so I bet you he will just happen to stop by next week just to check up on Hazy. You can see the cute bond they have formed with each other.  Hazel gets super excited to see her Papa. She gets this huge grin on her face when he walks in the room and she snuggles right in when he gives her kisses.

It was so neat to have my Dad watch Hazel and something Mike and I will never forgot.  We know that for all the love, support, and constant encouragement given from my Dad we will never be able to fully repay him.  So instead we promise to try to pass his generosity along, and keep up this traditional so many, many days down the road when Hazel has children of her own Mike and I will provide daycare for our grand babies!

I don't know why - but this almost made me cry. What a wonderful bond – and it looks/sounds like Hazel has Papa wrapped around her sweet little finger.
No doubt your dad’s legend will live on for years. If you ask Alex what being mature is, he will tell you “it’s doing the right thing when nobody is watching” which is a Terry L saying!
