Story Time with Daddy! (Day 60)

The past few days have been very good days for me. Zak has had a little down time and that has allowed him to be able to call me and I cannot explain the feeling I get when I hear his voice....butterflies <3 I love it.

Today was EXTRA awesome because I got a package in the mail from the USO and inside was a Curious George book and a mini DVD.

The mini DVD was a video of Zak reading Curious George to Grayson!!!

And at the end of the story he got a minute to say some personal words and I will admit --I didn't start crying until that point.

I know the story and the DVD are mainly for Grayson but oh how good it was to see him...to see him without blur, delayed, or breaking in and out every few seconds to really see him it was so perfect.

And may I just say, he is looking goooooood, A sexy man that husband of mine ;)

Aside from my over excitement of this story book and video I watched it with Grayson -not once, but twice. We watched it as soon as I opened it and after me and Graysons evening walk and tubby time, I put him in his little rocker, set the laptop up where he could see it and we both sat there together watching Zak read the bedtime story. Once it got down to where he just talks to us I took the laptop and put it on Graysons lap and he got so wide-eyed and smiley and kept hitting his hands on the computer and would smile real big each time I would say, "Thats Dada!".

A story book and video might not see like a very big deal to a lot of people out there but this is such a big deal!

It is perfect :)

Now everyday/night we get to share story time with Daddy and that is so special to us.

This will also help give Grayson something to watch of his Daddy all of the time to help him remember Zak when he comes home and that is so important to me to try to keep that memory there and I know videos like these are going to help so much.

Zak said the USO building has a little room and they have close to or over 100 childrens books. The soldier picks the book he wants to read and goes into the room -and from the video it looks like the setting of a childs room- and the sit in front of a camera and it records them reading :))) How awesome is that?!?

We had the recordable book that Zak did before he left but this is SO much better because we get to see him and hear him!

He said he is going to try to do this with as many books as possible. I know his is very busy and that may take some time but even this one book is more than I could ever have asked for.

Thank you so much baby! You are hands down, the best Daddy a little boy could ask for!

We love and miss you so much!

until the end of all time <3
