John P. is a pretty hip dad |
I have a friend name John Pseudonymous who writes a fantastic blog called Twinfamy. He's a fellow stay at home dad who lives in Arizona. He recently shared a story about how his son said his first words. Now as a parent you listen to your child's every utterance in hopes that at least something makes sense. Every dad roots for the kid to say "Dada" while the moms all hope they say "mama." Even when you think they said something you are still a little bit puzzled as to what they actually said. You are left scratching your head wondering if you heard your child correctly. Did he just say dada? Anyway John tells a funny story about a shirt that he was wearing at the time his son said dada. Turns out out it was a Chuck Norris shirt which left him wondering if his son was reacting to the shirt or to him. It's funny, I have a similar story about when my oldest said his first words.
Maybe I can't remember all of the details exactly, but I know that it happened something like this. Do you remember when your kids said their first words? What was it?
