Letter to Daddy (Happy Father’s Day)

Dear Daddy,

When I was born, I loved cuddling with you and sleeping on your chest all day long. You always had the magic hand to comfort me when I was upset. You bounced me for hours in the middle of the night when I couldn’t go back to sleep. It was funny to see you falling asleep first. We had a lot of good times dancing while you sang some old school R&B because I didn’t want to go to bed. I didn’t like that you don’t let me watch your big TV, you know better than anyone how bad it is to be TV-deprived! I will grow up and make a home theater even bigger than yours!

Now that I am a big girl, I like playing with you (that means climbing on you) and laughing with you every day. I also love splashing you while you give me a bath. I will do this while I can get away with it. It’s great that you get up with me every morning and feed me breakfast; you always have magic Tupperware to entertain me. I will give you kisses every now and then, not too many because I want you to beg for more and hug me a lot. But I will make the kitty face mostly for you!

When I wake up at night, please give me a bottle so I can get back to sleep. I know I shouldn’t need a bottle, but I’m a hungry girl! Sorry I don’t go to bed early enough so you can play WOW, but I have yours and mommy’s genes, so I can’t do anything about that. You said many times with that weird voice “Julia, I am your father”, so yeah, I’m your daughter and can’t go to bed at 7 PM!

We have to get out more, go for walks and to the pool, and when I’m older you can teach me how to play basketball. But you have to promise that you won’t make me play any little league, you know how annoying that is.

I love you and happy first Father’s day,

Julia
