My daddy the doctor

Breck's class recently studied different careers ...and parents were encouraged to visit the class and speak with them about their jobs.  Immediately Breck came home and wanted daddy to bring his stethoscope and come to his class.  Since my job (recruiting medical students) is really not going to be too compelling to a group of 4 year olds, my feelings were not hurt and Bobby planned a day where he could go.

Bobby read books about "going to the doctor", let Breck's friends listen sounds using the stethoscope, and bandaged everyone up using Avenger and Doc McStuffins bandaids.

Breck was so proud and was pretty bossy with his class about listening and instructing them on just how to use his daddy's doctor tools.

This day was so awesome for Bobby.  He misses so much while in residency and Breck is so proud of him - so I was ecstatic that it worked out for him to be able to go!

We tried to sneak a pic at the end and of course Breck was devastated it was over and was not cooperating.

Bobby and I always pray our babies forget the times he is gone while in residency... and we are positive they will only remember the fun ones of having a daddy that is a doctor!!!

Breck You Are 4

Breck Randel,
How in the world are you four years old??  I remember the exact moment that they laid you on my chest and the instant overwhelming feeling of love that I felt.

You came into this world in dramatic fashion... but there is not a dramatic bone in your body.  You are so much like your daddy in that you are quiet, sweet as sugar, and that voice, OH that sweet, sweet, soft voice of yours.  EVERYONE comments on how sweet your voice sounds, and I am already dreading the day that it changes.

Your imagination is wild!  You love playing Ninja Turtles, Paw Patrol, and most of all you LOVE to wrestle with your daddy!  He can hardly get in the door from the hospital before you are attacking him with your sword of choice...  Usually Leonardo's swords.

You are a pleaser - you rarely ever get into trouble, but when you do you have started telling me very seriously that "You will neeeeever do that again".  And I fall for it every.single.time.  I've even caught you hiding any evidence that may incriminate you!

You love to sing and dance with your mama!  It is my only claim to fame with you!  We are loving Immortals by Fall Out Boy & the Big Hero 6 movie; and anything by Taylor Swift. We rock out in the car, at home and basically anywhere we can get by doing it!

You adore your Claire-bear and are the only one that can get her belly giggles.  She watches your every move and I melt when I see you talk and play with her when you think I am not watching.

You talk and talk and talk.  You tell amazing stories and ask questions that even stump me! You started playing soccer and love it!  Every time you kick the ball you give me and dad a thumbs up!  You haven't scored a goal, but you talk about it every day! 

You love to give me and Claire kisses.  You insist on one on the lips and one on my cheek.  You never leave Claire without kissing her all over too!  You have already committed to marrying me - and I plan to hold you to that! 
You still have your "Monkey" (nap buddy).  We are slowly trying to retire him, but the time is just not quite right....yet!

We love you more than words could ever describe, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for you brecky.

xoxo
