Imitating Daddy

Here’s another layout that didn’t make the SOY cut. Something is off
with this one. I think it’s the title. Too small. But it’s such a cute
story that I still wanted to keep it and love thinking of David running
around in Daddy’s helmet.

Journaling Reads: They say boys love their mommies and you sure
do love me, but the person you most like to imitate is Daddy. You love
wearing Daddy’s shoes all over the house. You love playing with the
books on his side of the bed. You love going into his office and raiding
his desk.

So it should have come to us as no surprise that you wanted to try
Daddy’s helmet when you saw it lying around. You picked it up and tried
it on, and then you walked over to Daddy and put it on him, and just to
make sure, you put it on me and then you decided it looked the best on
you so you put it back on your head and giggled.

You look like Daddy even when you’re not trying his stuff on, so when
you’re wearing his helmet and his shoes, it’s like mini-Daddy is running
around the house.
