Is Papa Home Yet?

Isaac seems to know when its time for papa to get home from work.  This afternoon he was anxiously awaiting papa's return.  When he would hear a car passing by the house he would point to the door and say Pa! Pa!  I would reassure him that papa was on his way home and would be here soon.

Isaac dismissed my reassurance and he didn't want to miss out on being the first to greet papa as soon as he arrived.   He didn't leave the kitchen and remained a few feet from the door.  While he was waiting he played with "his" screwdriver pretending to fix the doorknob and hinges while he waited.  He's had a bit of an abnormal obsession with this screwdriver lately.  The first thing in the morning when we come downstairs for breakfast he runs straight to the kitchen drawer, pointing, and says Da! Da!(translation: I want that).   When we need to go upstairs for a diaper change he fusses when I make him leave it downstairs and as soon as we return its the first thing he picks up.   I think he would sleep with it if I'd let him.

Needless to say he was one happy boy when he heard the garage door open.  I picked him up and opened the door so he could so he could see papa pulling in.  Sometimes it's a struggle for Isaac to remain patient long enough for papa to empty his hands and give the little guy a hug.  Who can blame him for being so excited to see his papa!
