Happy Father's Day

Keira was born just before Father's Day last year - so Rob was able to celebrate his first Father's Day with his brand new baby girl.  It was nice.  But, being completely honest, he hadn't done that much as a dad at that point in his father-hood.

But, this year is different.  For a year now, he's been a dad - and has done a tremendous amount of Dad stuff.

So, here are some of the reasons Keira LOVES her daddy:
- He teaches her the bad/fun stuff (i.e. regularly, I have to remind him that the "fun" thing he's doing isn't okay to let her do, so probably he should stop.  Like banging on the window.  Or stuffing a hazardous amount of food in either of their mouths.  Or singing and dancing while eating.)
- He takes care of her.
- He disciplines her - in love - AND, she listens.  WAY more than when I tell her "no," when her dad does, she obeys.
- "Dada" was her first word.
- He encourages me to go do stuff - so they can spend quality time together, and so I can get out of the house.  It's a good system (and mutually beneficial to all parties).
- He reads to her.
- He talks to her and explains stuff.  All kinds of stuff.
- He makes her laugh.
- He REALLY makes her laugh.
- He loves her mama.
- He makes killer dad jokes.
- He protects her.
- He provides for our family.
- He's silly.
- He's the best Grover puppeteer in the whole world.
- He prays for and with her.
- He teaches her about Jesus.

We're blessed, Robbie.  Thanks for being a great dad for our daughter.
