Day of the Dad

Bad news for the rest of you dads out there…

Tristan David, the world’s coolest and cutest boy, has made me this cup. He colored the picture and slid it into this little transparent mug and gave it to me for Father’s Day. He was itching to show it to me all weekend, but he promised his teacher he wouldn’t give it to me until Father’s Day. His concept of time is a little distorted, though, so all day Friday and Saturday he kept asking “Is it father’s day yet?”

It feels good.

Up Next: Dear Y, when is it sometimes?

That is unbelievably cute!!! And even cuter than that was overhearing you two squabbling over him wanting to take it out and play with it every 5 minutes and you fretting he’d break it before fathers day. He was squealing away in protest and you were all gruff and serious dad.

Hahaha his squealy little voice squeezes my heart every time I hear it. I can’t wait to pick him up and squeeze all the breath out of his lungs till he almost pops!

When they’re grown up and give you nice things that are really useful, that’s lovely. But, those wonderful, scribbled, hard-fought cards and hand-made so-ugly-only-a-parent-could-like-it gifts of a loving child are such treasures. Be sure you keep many of them put away somewhere in a box. They will brighten your days often in years to come.
