Daddy's day

Dear Aidan,

Boy, mommy is pooped today. Because we are taking our Toronto grandpa out for Father's Day dinner on Sunday I wanted to do something for daddy today. Since it's daddy's first Father's Day I wanted him to go to the spa to pamper himself. Plus, daddy loves getting a facial! I told my friend, YJ, about it yesterday and she thought it was a great idea for her husband, Andy, to go to the spa too. So we decided that we would send the hubbies to the spa while we, the wives, looked after the boys. YJ and Asher came over to play, but it was a tiring night. You were really cranky because you were pretty tired for playing a lot today. Asher took away some of your toys that you were holding in your hand and you started throwing a fit. Usually you're not like that, but I think you were so tired that everything was irritating you. The hubbies were gone for a while so I gave you a bath myself and eventually put you to bed. Although it was tiring it was all worth it when daddy came home and he looked so happy.

Oh, and I've got great news! You walked today! Well, you took 4-5 steps by yourself without holding on to anything. It was during the afternoon before YJ and Asher came over. You were standing by the window sill in your play room and you just turned around and started walking. Eventually you fell on the ground, but I was so shocked. YJ told me yesterday that Asher started walking right after he went to Gymboree because he saw other kids walking there. Maybe that happened to you too. Anyways, I thought it was fluke so I tried making you do it again. I held the house phone on speaker so that you would be drawn to walk towards it. Before today, you would fall to the ground from a standing position and crawl over, but today you made an effort to walk. You didn't walk more than 2 steps before you fell, but you were walking! I showed YJ a few times while she was here and she thinks you will walk soon. I even put you on our kitchen floor and you made an attempt to walk again. I told daddy during dinner and he said he has to see it with his own eyes. I hope you will try again tomorrow. Let's show daddy your accomplishments.
