Back in the day Nick used to have every Monday and Tuesday off with the kiddos...we used to call them "Daddy Days" (so original)! I remember those first few "Daddy Days" 7 years ago. I would call every hour to make sure Masyn's hair was brushed, I would make sure she had her bottle on time and I would make sure Dad and Masyn were both still alive! I was the typical, first time, overprotective mom who thought my way was the only right way! Then Zain came along and things changed. I stopped calling, he had no hair to brush, I realized he wasn't going to die if he had a bottle an hour later than usual and most of all I realized that the kids were having more fun with dad than they ever had with me! Dad was unstructured, carefree and LOTS of fun. The kids cherished their "Daddy Days" more than any other day of the week. But soon school came along and Dad had to work 6 and sometimes even 7 days a week. To be honest we all forgot about "Daddy Days"! Days off from school soon became filled with soccer, birthdays, play dates and other such things. We all missed dad immensely at first, but then grew used to this new schedule over time. Until TODAY... Nick and the kids had an entire day together and definitely made the most of it. They left behind household duties and mom at work and headed to the Long Beach Aquarium. They had a blast looking at fish, touching sharks and just being silly with Dad! After the aquarium they headed to a fun little lunch date. At lunch, apparently Nick is rubbing off on Masyn as her restaraunt standards have suddenly gotten much pickier. They went to "Bubba Gumps" at first, but had to leave as the service was horrible according to Masyn!! On the way home they even got to stop at Target and pick a little something out...Dad definitely spoils them. But most of all dad loves them and has fun with them! HERE'S TO DADDY DAYS!
