My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass." "We're not raising grass," Dad would reply. ~Harmon Killebrew
The kids are so lucky to have RJ for a dad. He's so good to them and they know it. When he comes home, they greet him like they haven't seen him in ages. Just in case they forget the extra little things he does (beyond providing for them), I thought I would dedicate this entry to him for:
Sticking surprises like M&M's in their sandwiches
Reading an extra chapter or two at bed time
Lingering for extra "lay by" time at night
Taking them to his basketball games
Giving a hug instead of losing it
Playing babies, house, catch and games all the time
Sewing/darning socks and tights
Leaving special notes for them in the morning
Letting them "help" bake
Being okay with spills, messes and accidents
Coloring beside them
Painting nails
in general, going the extra mile to express and show his love.
