Daddy Day-Care

On Monday mornings, Cora gets to spend some quality time with her dad while I go out into the schools to observe my interns. (I have a very small part-time job as a field advisor for first year teachers.) After Cora gets up from her morning nap, she and daddy bond. Now you must understand that football is a big thing in our house. . .in fact, football season is year round with an XBox and NCAA '08. Poor John; being surrounded by females, he has no one with whom to share the joy of football. However, today John began the process of conversion on Cora. When I got home, Cora was in her boppy on the bed with John on the laptop beside her. I asked how the morning was going, and I found out what time she got up from her nap and how much she ate. Then John told me that when she began to fuss, he decided to read to her. He chose something they would both enjoy . . . Aggie football news! Yep, John was reading internet articles to her about his alma mater. I'm sure Cora already knows more than I do about the goings-on in Aggieland. She was smiling and doing her best to talk with her daddy. As much as I want Cora to be my little girlie-girl ballerina, I sure hope she will grow up to enjoy football with her proud papa.
