I love your humility and that you're never afraid to tell our children that you made a mistake.
I love the way you jumped in from day one, changing nasty meconium diapers and letting baby girl sleep on your chest.
I love that you change cloth diapers, even the nasty dirty ones, even though you swore you would make me do them.
I love that you are my partner in parenting and that you've never seen any of it as 'my job' or 'your job.'
I love the way our children feel so safe when you're there and the way they love to snuggle with Daddy.
I love your patience and your gentle discipline.
I love when you read the Bible and pray with our kids.
I love that you always know how to say things to them in a way they understand.
I love that when you run an errand, you take a kid with you whenever you can.
I love that you're always more than willing to let me take a night off and go out while you're home with the kids. I don't think you've ever complained about that. Even once.
I love that the most important thing to you is not how smart our children are or how athletic they are, but our childrens' hearts and that they learn to follow Christ.
I love that your family is your priority and that you're always looking for ways to spend more time with us.
I love that you work so hard so that I can stay home with our kids and that you tell me all the time that you know being at home is hard work too. :)
I love that you read parenting books and books on newborn sleep schedules when I ask you to.
I love that you're around and that our kids really know you and you really know them.
I love that you love me with all your heart and that you see loving me well as one of the most important things you can do for our children.
I love that there's so much more I could add to this list...
I love you. I'm grateful every day that God chose you to be these kids' daddy and that I get to be the one by your side. Every day. For the rest of our lives.
Happy Father's Day
