my daddy is the coolest!

my daddy is the coolest daddy ever! he ran in the columbus marathon today and ran like a jee-tah (cheetah). i'm so proud of him. mommy is too. we skipped church and "watched" the marathon on the computer this morning to see how daddy was doing. the map updated every so often...but not often enough. mommy was jumping around in her fluffy bathrobe and messy hair, screaming at the computer. i was running around in circles yelling "da-ddy! da-ddy!" because mommy's craziness got me all excited. it was a proud day in the budic household. great job daddy, running 2:26 for 26.2 miles. what a stud!

after the marathon, mommy and i went running. then we took a nap (mommy needed a rest after all that cheering) and played in my tent. i was crabby after my nap and just wanted to be held. mommy cherished that because it's a rare thing anymore. we went to small group and had a great time! i cried for mommy when we went upstairs to the playroom. i wouldn't calm down so mommy came upstairs and we ended up having the whole group play and talk. it was so much fun. mommy had a blast! she loves her friends and will really miss them when we move.

i know i update my language every so often but i don't have a system to keep track of it. so, if i repeat things, i apologize. here are more words.

more = moe (no longer "me" like it used to be)
tai chi = cookie
ta-too = thank you
ah-poo = achoo
bah-soo = bless you
appa-sass = applesauce
dooda = dora
fwa-fie = firefly (mommy's new favorite word that i say)

great job, daddy. i can't wait to see you tomorrow night. i have missed you so much. i even called for you after my nap. i went to the door looking for you and mommy got sad. see you soon! love you, tj
