"Happy Daddy Dinner"

Christopher came to me early last week with this idea: "Mommy I really miss daddy, I think that we should plan a surprise party for daddy, like one to tell him how much we love him." So with that began an amazing journey into the heart of this little boy and his plans for a "Happy Daddy dinner." For those who really know Christopher you know that he never lets anything rest and he thinks through every aspect of his plans. So I wasn't surprised when he came to me with a whole agenda and a menu. I know he's not the average 7 year old boy. He was so concerned and put so much thought into making this special for daddy. He made a banner, we pulled out all of our leftover party decorations, found some silly hats at the dollar store, planned out games to play and made "masanga" (one of Christopher's specialties). We had such a great time showing daddy how much he is loved. Roger's favorite was the Easter egg hunt which had one thing that Christopher loved about daddy in each one. It was such an amazing opportunity to really see Christopher's heart. I have realized many things about him but mostly just the fact that he fits so perfectly in our family. I could not have imagined a more, perfect little boy for our family. I even think of the implications that his love has for Matthew, as he watches his big brother grow into the man that God has designed him to be.
