The Different Ways to Say, "Daddy."

Hi Max!

Here is tonight's Facebook post and stream:
Michael J. Maher
Nothing like hearing Max say, "Daddy". :) Now he has different ways of saying it. Daddy! (=Hi!), Daddy (like C'mon Daddy!), Daddy? (like how's this potty thing work?), Daddy (low, serious =broke something), Daddy (whisper,loving, tired =bedtime), Daddy (sarcastic, like Daddy don't be silly - I get that one a lot), Daddy (full squeal - in the midst of being tickled). Daddy! (=where are you Daddy?!) And so on. :) +m2

Beckie Agan-Realtor: The totally excited, look of astonishment, almost fearful, look of discovery while he says, "Nanna", as he experiences something awesome for the first time.... that's my favorite.

Bronwyn Ball Kemp: I remember my dad telling me that when I was in middle/high school that I would come to him and say, "Um, Dad?" and he always knew a request was coming, usually involving his money!!

Beckie Agan-Realtor: As he gets older, and the newness of the world wears off, we get those reactions less and less. That's why we love being with children. They remind us of the spectacular world in which we live.

Michael J. Maher: So true everyone. Beckie, I love that one too. The Daaaddddeeee! of joy when he looks up at me with his big blue eyes. :) Here's one of those looks I captured from Max back on August 8 of last year --> http://dadmanconfessions.blogspot.com/2010/08/sunday-is-son-day-august-8.html <-- So precious. Time just flies doesn't it? +m2

Beckie Agan-Realtor: It does fly.....then one day, they are parents themselves, and looking to you for guidance. All you can do is tear up, because you know there are no words to explain just how fast it goes, how much you miss, and how you'd give anything to do it all again.

Max, I love it when you say, Daddy, how you say Daddy, and I hope you'll forever call me Daddy. :) We really had a great night playing together. Really enjoyed playing "tackle", "cars", and "KenpoX". :)

To Your Success With Love,

Max's Dad (Michael)
