He is a really smart man and loves to tinker in his basement with tools and electronics. He does not like to be defeated by a problem so will keep working on a solution for a long time which makes him especially grumpy.
Papa loves to teach and explain. (Warning: Papa talks in letters and numbers that have meaning only to him. Diva has found that the best way to handle this situation is to smile and nod like you understand. It makes him happy, he will rub your head and tell you how smart you are! Trust me on this!)
Papa loves to read. He knows a little about a lot. (Note: take all your "Why?" questions to Papa.) However, you need to know that if for some reason he does not know the answer he will make one up. ( no, not really lying, just an interesting story to see if you will believe him.....it's a game he likes to play.)
Your Papa is strong and you will always be safe and protected in his arms. He will cry when you are born and the first time he sees your little face he will be instantly in love with you. Don't be surprised if he constantly tells you the story of why he really thought your Daddy was a girl. When the doctor delivered your Dad and said, "It's a boy!" Your Poppa said, "look again." The doctor smiled and said, "I'm really sure I know the difference and this is definitely a boy." When your Daddy was a baby we didn't have the technology to know if it would be a boy or a girl....so your dad was a delightful surprise package.
No one will love you like your Poppa Charlie. He has been praying for you ever since we knew you were on the way. He has lots of wisdom and can make anything go. He already has plans in his head about building you a fort or a playhouse. You will be blessed to have him in your life, loving you and cheering you on.
