Our Daily Bests

Wilson: “my best was playing going to Granna’s and getting a new fort.”

Maggie: “mine was seeing the fort finally getting started.”

Phil: “definitely getting started on the fort.”

Wilson: “um, my best was when you came home, Dad.” For some reason I asked him, “oh wow, really?” to which he replied, “mmm, no, going to school.” Maybe I should learn to take a compliment.

Maggie: “Miller was really sweet today and she called me Mama intentionally. That made me feel really good.”

Phil: “my best was making up songs with Wilson after supper.”

Wilson: “my best was playing with Wilkes today. First he came over here and played, then we went to his house to play.”

Maggie: “my best was going to circle tonight at Micki’s house with Krisan.”

Phil: “Wilson was really sweet tonight and wanted to be with his dad while watching Space Buddies. It feels good to be loved so much by that little guy.”

Wilson: “my best was going to the rodeo with Granna and Big Daddy, and I got a light saver (saber).” Well they say Star Wars is really a sci-fi Western. I guess light sabers & rodeos make sense.

Maggie: “hanging out with you yesterday was really good.”

Phil: “it felt really good to knock out some overdue yardwork, and even better to have my girls hanging out with me.”

Yesterday turned out to be a fun day. On the way home I asked Wilson what his best was. “Umm, I don’t know.” A very common response, actually.

“Okay then. Mom, what was yours?”

Maggie said, “I’m glad I got to go to a Super Bowl party.” The next few minutes were spent explaining to Wilson what that was, even though he was there too.

Then he asked me, “Dad, what was yours?” That didn’t take me long to answer. “Mine was also going to a Super Bowl party, and especially since it as at Mr. Tal’s house with his family.”

At this point he was beginning to remember what how the Daily Best game worked.

“So, Wilson, did you have a best today?”

“Yeah, I had fun playing with the sister at their house.” Isn’t it great how he could play with someone he’s never met before for about 4 hours? Now to teach him to introduce himself to new people and try to get their name as well. He followed that up with, “tomorrow, after school, I want to go back to their house to play.”
