poppies

I had intended to post something for Remembrance Day, but ironically enough, I forgot.

Instead, I give you this lovely piece, written by Junior Ricardipus #2. Forgive the spelling, the sentiment is rightly felt.

Popys are inportint becus they are red and red is won of the colers theat th solgers wore.

I think that says enough.

Daddy's girl.

"I like that horsey."

"Which horsey, honey?"

"The one on that shield."

Having been well and truly put in my place by Junior Ricardipus #1, it was obviously JR#2's turn. Tucking her in for bed, she came up with this lovely sentiment:


"I love you, Daddy."

"You're the best daddy in the whole world."

[beat]

"Sometimes."


Their timing is just immaculate, I tell you.
