The other day, I was snuggling with my little boy when I asked, “Who’s your favorite person?”
He hugged me and said, “You and Daddy both.”
I tickled him a little and teased, “Both? But I’m the one who feeds you, cleans up after you, does your laundry, drives you to therapy and school, reads with you, helps you with homework, and tucks you in bed.”
He replied, “Yeah, but Daddy throws me in the air.”

sounds like you need to start tossing him, then you might win 🙂

damn dads. They have it so easy.

It’s just not fair is it?

There is that, isn’t there? It’s a favorite thing for little guys – and they don’t grow out of it for awhile.

Your son is hilarious, a very bright little boy.
Lisa@verybusymomwith4
He does have a point.
Irish Gumbo
Oh, snap!
Was that the point at which you hung him upside down by his ankles, dangling out the window? (grin)
The lads, they like the thrills. A grilled cheese sandwich finds it hard to compete with the feeling of flying!
Still, you KNOW he loves you. Who’s he going to come to after his first breakup? YOU. Boys always need the moms…
AlisonH
Out of the mouths of boys.
Rachel
hee heee heeee 😉
That’s hysterical. Don’t worry, someday you’ll be way better than daddy 🙂
Ed (zoesdad)
I might have given him a toss just then!
Melissa
I love your little ones priorities…being thrown in the air is important stuff you know!

I guess nothing beats a good sling into the air? I would think food would rank higher, but what do I know? I’m afraid of heights.
Mr Lady
He makes a valid point, you know.

Briefcase travels for business all the time. I’ve pretty much raised all 3 of our kids on my own. But when he does come home? He’s the “fun” parent. Resented it ever? Who ME???
the planet of janet
he’s TOTALLY got a point….
LiteralDan
I’m not going to deny that at certain stages of childhood, it’s way easier being a dad.
Sorry, ladies.
Misty
ADORABLE!
Rikki
And why is there first word always “dada”. Its BS.
Tom
Daddies don’t have to do much, do they?
Mrs. Schmitty
LOl….he’s got you there!
Mama Dawg
To a kid, that’s perfectly even.
Weaselmomma
No way us Mom’s can compete with throwing them up in the air.
Big Bad Daddy
But you don’t hear him saying “do the laundry again!” “do the laundry again!” “do the laundry again!” “again,again,again!” So you know, think about that. Oh, and I do all of the other stuff on your list too. Just Sayin’. But you’re right, it doesn’t take much to own their affection.

LOL-ing @ Big Bad Daddy’s comment!! Hilarious!! And so UNFAIR…. Spinning them in circles doesn’t get kudos approximate to throwing in the air??
Heather
Ah, the simple things in life…
Xbox4NappyRash
I pronounce that Tushy, just for fun.
Tara R.
Well… there is that.
A Buns Life
Yep, that sure is a toss up! 🙂
Alli {Mrs. Fussypants}

And being thrown in the air is quite important and fun.
BOSSY

Jenna Consolo
It’s all relative, isn’t it?
Captain Dumbass
And we do it right before bedtime as well.
musing
It’s hard to compete with that.
Surfer Jay
Doh!
meleah rebeccah
Awwwww…
But, um…I think Daddy has it pretty easy over there!
Jared
Taking a mental note…more tossing, more tossing. 😀

Ha ha ha…just catching up in my reader. At least you can still laugh about it, right? 😉
