Valentine's Day.

"Happy Valentine's Day, future wife!"

"Happy Valentine's Day, future husband!" They smile and share a kiss.

"I only go in for a few hours today,

The boys were at school, Jessica was off from work, and Danny worked a short day.

"Alright Grayson, we are gonna get you dressed and looking handsome like your daddy!"

"Daddyyyy!" He smiles and points to the picture of Sam in his bedroom.

"That's right! You look just like him, don't you?"

"Yeah! I cute!"

"Yes you are, baby!" Jessica baby talks and kisses him.

"Where we going, mama?"

"Daddy Danny is gonna come pick us up!"

"Yay! Dada!"

"Yeah, dada! And guess where we're going?!"

"To da poooool!"

"It's February!!" Jessica says in the same tone of voice as Grayson.

"To play gaaaamessss!"

"Nooooo!"

"Then where we goingggg?"

"To eat!"

"Hey dat not fun!" Grayson makes a face.

"Heh! Well maybe if you're a good boy, mama and dada will take you to play some games."

"Yay! I going!"

"Only if you're good!"

"I going!" He lifts his little fists in the air making Jessica laugh.

When Danny got off of work, he came to pick them up and take them out for lunch.

"Grayson, don't play with your food, please."

"I just playing!"

"No you're making a mess! Remember what I said."

"I no know, mama!" He lifts his little hands.

"That if you're a good boy we can play games!"

"GAAAAMES!!"

Jessica laughs and Danny asks, "Where are we going?"

"No where special, I just need to run to Walmart for something and they have a few little rides there.  If he's a good boy while mommy's shopping, I usually take him to play a little bit before we leave."

"Oh really?  Well that's fun!  Isn't it, Gray." Danny smiles.

"Out! Out!" He quickly becomes fussy and demands Danny to take him out of the high chair.

"Eat your food, Grayson." Jessica says.

"Dada!  Dada!" He cries.
