Dad-dy, Hi!

The wife has called me at work a few times over the past week to let pooklet try out the phrase a father longs to hear, "Hi, Daddy!" He's still a little unclear on sentence structure, but he knows the key words, repeating them often in his gentle, singsong voice.
Pookie the Wife has been coaching him, for which I'm grateful. Lately he's also broken his habit of apparent indifference when I see him after work, and has been greeting me with a big smile and a wave from his car seat when they pick me up.
"He's been saying 'Dad-dy' all the way here," Pookie will usually tell me.
