Every morning when daddy goes to work Jaedon kisses him bye-bye then runs to the lounge-room window. He waits there until daddy comes over and gives him another kiss (through the glass), then waves and bids him bye-bye again. Then he does the mad dash to our bedroom, at the front of the house, hopefully to get there before daddy. There he waits for the last stage of his farewell ritual, where he gets yet another kiss and more waves. And if he hangs around long enough, which he always does, daddy pauses as he backs out of the drive, blows another kiss and sends one final wave. And Jaedon always stands there until daddy is long gone from view and there’s no possibility of a return for one final bye-bye.
It’s a sweet, sweet thing to watch. He certainly loves his daddy. I don’t blame him. 🙂

After daddy has long gone from view, we all hop on mummy and daddy’s bed and have a good ole jumping session. It’s always a good laugh.
Usually I’m the first one to tire of it, then Jaedon will get distracted by the next best thing, and it will end up being Alicia-Rae having full run of the bed by herself. And she makes good use of it. At the end she’ll simply lay in amongst the doona and watch me. And smile – usually full of mischief before she pounces on me and begs me to start over. But that few seconds of simply laying there watching one another is amongst the best few seconds of the day.
