Travis' thoughts on Daddy

For Father's Day this year, I came up with the idea of interviewing the kids regarding their thoughts on "Daddy". Jayna wasn't quite up to the task, but I had a lot of fun asking Travis the questions and hearing his answers! He got quite a kick out of it, too. This may just be a new Father's Day tradition...

Everything here is exactly as Travis said it :)

Why did God make daddies?
T: To help us. To take care of us. And when you (as in me) are making food, someone has to watch us.

What are some of your names for Daddy?
T: Daddy, Daddy-o (giggle)

What does daddy look like?
T: Tall, has a huge nose, hair is like “this”(fingers a half-inch apart) short, has big feet, has big legs.

How old is daddy?
T: 31 (which is correct!)

My favorite thing to do with daddy…
T: Play baseball, all the time. Kick balls back and forth.

I don’t like when daddy…
T: Pushes me down, throws pillows at me. (he's referring to when they "wrestle" - and he actually loves it when Steve does these things :)

What does daddy do at work?
T: Makes sure everybody’s nice. Drives a police car. Eats. (lol!)

Why does daddy work?
T: So we can live in our house. To make sure no one wrecks. To make sure people go on the green light and not the red light. (shaking his finger and emphasizing "not the red light")

Something funny that daddy does…
T: Makes jokes.

What are some things daddy loves to do in his spare time?
T: Read the newspaper. Eat. Eat.

Daddy taught me…
T: How to throw a baseball the right way. How to play Taboo (?????). To look two times before I cross the street. To be nice to Jayna.

Mommy loves daddy because…
Because he loves you (me). He makes sure we don’t say bad things when you make food.


Pretty observant kid, I'd say!
