What dads do:

Change diapers,

feed babies,

teach their children silly phrases,

involve their kids in what they do, even when it slows them down

play with their babies,

make their kids laugh,

give baths,

brush their kid's teeth,

play "imgunnagetchu" until he is sweaty,

rock and sing babies to sleep,

do their daughter's hair,

draw kitties and helicopters,

cook for their family,

rock their toddler back to sleep after a bad dream,

can completely handle a blow-out situation

Chad does all these.

Not because I ask, but because he knows it's his role as a father.

He takes his job seriously, but isn't serious...make sense?

I have a couple thoughts when it comes to fatherhood:

1. the phase "hands-on-dad"? No. Its either you are a dad, or you are not doing your job.
2. dads never "baby sit" their own children. Period.

I dont really know why I am blogging about this. I guess its just been on my mind after a few discussions and experiences with multiple people lately. After each discussion I thank Heavenly Father for Chad and how stink'n hard he works at doing pony tails.

So thanks to all those dads out there doing their job.

The world needs you and you make it a better place.
