    Sleeping late, a back rub, favorite meal, and hand made cards have worked for the last almost two decades for me. I know your baby is a little young to make a card, so you make it, put your babies handprints in it and sign it with his name. I've still got the first one I received.

    I like alaska's idea :) That's what we did for my husband his 1st year too - the footprint card :) One print from each foot, connected at the ankle makes a perfect heart shape!

    My kids saved up to get their daddy a mousepad & mug with their pictures on it to take to work this year. He finally has his own cubicle, and can bring in personals like that & the kids were SOOO excited about getting to help him "decorate" it this year!
    love,
    mom

    I like to find a special photo of daddy with the girls and put it in sepia or black and white. Get a nice inexpensive frame, a nice card, and foot/hand prints are always very special!

    You can get some modeling magic almost anywhere. It's like play doh only it hardens much nicer. Do footprints or handprints or both in it. I have a set of handprints for Dakota from whenhe was two and again when he was just four.

    My ex is taking me and my son out to dinner with her sister (who is a dear friend of mine) and their father.
    I take back my depressing comment from yesterday :tongue:
