Twice a year Robin and I have a special day, twice a year my question to Robin sounds what will we do with...

A birthday to celebrate.

Early March, or actually the end of February, I have to start thinking about what I want with my husband's birthday. From Robin's father. I don't want to let this pass because our son has a right to know when his father's birthday was. He also has the right to celebrate this day a little. It doesn't have to be extended for me, but I want to pay attention to it as long as Robin wants it. That also applies to Father's Day.

What shall we do?

Just before his father's birthday, I asked Robin if he wanted to make a present for Daddy again. I think it's a little too much of the good to buy a regular gift but making something for dad is a nice idea. We'll go to the store together and we'll see what would be fun. This time he chose something he wanted to decorate. Robin chose both parts. The thing he wanted to decorate and the decoration. He was very clear in this and that was pretty nice to see. He also walked to the checkout to report that he had to pee. (literally) I was surprised and surprised by this. I took this opportunity to tell you that the question was really different. You're supposed to ask if you can go to the bathroom. But at the back of that, I said that I thought it was very good that he called it in. Well, Robin, so we went to the bathroom and we could get on with our plan.

You can get dirty.

So Robin was allowed to go tinkering. Then I have to prepare this properly so that not everything gets dirty. Including ourselves. His socks go off and I put on my plastic shoes and I make sure the shower is passable. For some projects or challenges I prefer to go to a place where he can fully enjoy himself and where I can easily clean it. The shower is ideal for that. If Robin is completely dirty, he can immediately take the shower without getting dirty where I can hardly clean it. This is just much more fun and cozy to do so. Robin can really enjoy himself, and I'll see if it's okay. I mean, if he can't get himself so dirty without being clean anymore. For example, I do not want to have to wash wallpaper glue from his hair.

With balloons and garlands.

Now the birth day of my husband was not quite easy so we celebrated it on another day. This of course I consulted with Robin and he thought it was a good plan. We packed the gift for Daddy, and Robin was allowed to unpack it the day we were celebrating. Robin also had the request to hang garlands and balloons. So I did. Of course, the balloons had to be snapped. No problem. No problem. But then I found out I had no balloons left. So I decided we'd buy it together. Robin thought that was a good idea. So so to speak, not so done.
