Race Tracks with Daddy
Wade is really into horse racing and of course was determined to get Presley into it. The older she's getting the more she understands what it is. She now knows that when daddy opens the daily racing form on Sunday mornings, she immediately points out her favorite horse for him to place the bet. Wade of course will put in $2 for her bet and surprisingly Presley knows how to pick winners! The other day she won $15 off a $2 bet! Of course her winnings go straight into her pretty pink piggy bank (someone needs to pay for college or a new car, right?!). The thing I love most about all of this, is watching them two create memories together. She will forever remember betting horses with daddy, him taking her to the race tracks and making sure she gets to see the horses up close. Now because of everything she has experienced with her dad, Presley walks around the house with her "horsy" (stuffed animal)all the time and makes sure that her "horsy" is in her crib with her before going to sleep. Another great thing is anytime she sees a horse whether it may be on TV, on the race track, or pulling a carriage at Disneyland she will scream out loud and clap her hands because she is so thrilled to see a "horsy".

I know all the about sharing the love of horses with daddy. We still talk for hours about horses to this day, and it is so great that Wade includes Presley in what he enjoys. It's easy to see that Wade is and is going to be such a wonderful dad.
