Daddy's First Solo Day

Mommy went traveling, so Daddy and I started our big two-week team job. Day one was a very Saturday Saturday: pancakes, soccer, snacks, swimming, ramen, and one playground stop because my legs still had ideas.

My Saturday Timeline

I moved through the day like a very busy little calendar. Breakfast first, then sporty legs, snacks, splashes, noodles, and one last climb.

Weekend Pancakes

Daddy made my crispy Chinese pancake. It was salty, happy, and very good at disappearing.

Stretchy Soccer

At soccer, I did my stretch on the grass. My legs were getting ready to be fast.

Grape Service

In the afternoon I asked for grapes. Daddy served them, and I did the important eating part.

Corn Question

Before the gym, Daddy asked if I wanted sweet corn. Why not? Corn is yellow, juicy, and very convincing.

Pool Boss

I put on all my pool gear. Goggles mean I am serious about splashing.

Ramen Switch

After the pool, I changed the dinner plan. Burgers are good, but ramen won the noodle election.

Almost Home

I visited the playground before going home. Just a few minutes, but my climbing hands were happy.
