Happy Father's Day - From My Kids To Their Dad

My kids are too young to actually write a note to their Dad for Father's Day but I write this from their perspective based on what I see in their eyes, their smiles and their joy.  My own two cents may be thrown in as well, as how can I not thank the guy who always seems to get the job of cleaning up various bodily fluids from two children!



  • Thank you Dad, for always giving me 'one last kiss' before bed
  • Thank you Dad, for being okay with your arm falling asleep as I take a nap on you when I am sick
  • Thank you Dad, for putting together my Lego fire station again and again and again
  • Thank you Dad, for letting me help with chores outside even though it takes you longer when I do
  • Thank you Dad, for sharing your food with me, even if it means I end up eating your whole sandwich and you don't get any at all
  • Thank you Dad, for your patience when I insist on doing up my own car seat buckle and it takes me awhile 
  • Thank you Dad, for showing me how to do so many new things like using the hose sprayer, drinking from a 'big kid' water bottle, putting my clothes away and so much more
  • Thank you Dad, for taking the time to do something special with us, one on one like going for pancakes or trips to Home Depot
  • Thank you Dad, for learning to take out ponytails
  • Thank you Dad, for taking care of us when we are sick, for doing the laundry at 2 AM so we get our favourite blankets back as soon as possible
  • Thank you Dad, for all the hugs and snuggles
  • Thank you Dad, for making us feel important and loved
  • Thank you Dad, in advance, for the million other things you will do for us

It is a pleasure to watch my husband be a Father to my kids.  I feel very lucky that he not only loves his role as a Father but is an equal contributor to our parenting team.

Happy Father's Day Daddy-O (from the mouth of my two year old daughter)!
