Tuesdays with Dr. Tony

Thought today would be a great day (since it's Tuesday) to post about the opportunity that Tony has had to be on our local news station every Tuesday morning.  We have had a lot of fun with it... there is much discussion about which ties go with which shirts and Tony is even nice enough to let me brainstorm prop ideas with him.

One of my favorite things about it is how the kids react to it.  This photo is from last year -- one of the first weeks he was on. 

We usually gather around whatever electronic device is close by.  And wait patiently for Daddy to come on.  We can usually see the set being setup during the commercial break.  No cable for us -- we are streaming online, so we get to see that "behind the scenes" stuff while we wait.  Some of us have a bit more patience than others...  Then he comes on.  And that's followed by quite a bit of shush-ing.  Generally, everyone is telling Kadence to zip it.  Stop moving!  Get your head out of my way! Kaaaaaaaaaay-dence!!!  I wish I could tell you that they sat like the little angels they appear to be in the above picture each week.  Not true.  There has even been an occasion where I have to admit to Tony that I couldn't hear a blasted thing because they were squabbling.  But thankfully, I usually don't have to wait too long until it is posted online.

We watch.  Then we critique.  The kids usually compare it to the week before and decide if it is better than the week before.  They usually want to tell me something they learned about health.  Or brag about already knowing it.

Then we wait again... for Daddy to get home.  He gets quite a round of applause from those little people when he walks in the garage door.  It is seriously the cutest. thing. ever.
