Hayden has missed his dad and the fun times... the wrestling, the tickling, lego building, DS playing, Wii competition fun Dad time. Thomas worked late Friday night and had to work all day Sunday. Hayden announced that he wanted time with his dad. Luckily, it was the Relief Society General Conference Meeting and so Suzi and Jodi came and stayed with me and the boys went out to play.
Hayden chose the activities... they saw Paranorman at Harkins San Tan and went to Johnny Rockets for dinner where Thomas let Hayden put quarters in the jukebox and they sang and talked and ate fries, hamburgers and chocolate shakes. Thomas was great and loved being able to just spend time with his boy.
I love how much these two enjoy spending time together. Hayden absolutely idolizes his dad and lives for the moment he walks thru the door from work. Thomas promised Hayden that they would schedule one Saturday night a month to go out for a guys night and one night a week of one on one dad time at home just talking. Thomas is also going to start holding Personal Priesthood Interviews with Hayden once a month so he gets used to them before his teenage years. We want to do all we can to keep the lines of communication open with Hayden and let him know that he can come to us with anything and we will really listen and help him sort through his problems.
I love this boy and I love that he knows how to get what he wants. I also love that his love language is time and attention. He would take time playing games, cuddling, doing something together over a money gift any day. He sure is easy to please. Love him to pieces.
