I try to teach my children all year long to love and respect their daddy, to show them just how important he is. Father's Day is an extra special time though. We strive to go out of our way to show him our love on this day. We make his favorite foods, tell him how wonderful he is, and make sure he knows he is loved.
Another thing we've done the last few years is fill out a questionnaire all about him. I love looking back and reading through their answers from 2013 and 2012. An overwhelming trait throughout their responses is that they know that they are loved and they love him in return. It makes my heart happy.
Here is my husband, the daddy of my babies, through the eyes of our children.

"My dad and I don't really do anything because he's always at work." Alyssa, daddy's little heartbreaker. A tea party (or whatever it is girls do) may be in your future.
ReplyDeleteI know! He's not *always* at work, but I still think they should plan something super fun. :)
