Fodder's Day . . . . . .

. . . . . that's what Toots calls it. My girls love their Fodder. They should, because he is a good one. Actually, he's more than good. He's great. He's the kind of Dad who encourages and compliments. He understands the importance of being there for his babies. To play with them, teach them, and love them. He makes them feel special. Because they are. They mean the world to him. I'm really glad my little ladies scored such a great dad.


To celebrate, I put on the most patriotic sweat/men's t-shirt attire I could find (as July 4th is right around the corner), and whipped up some steak and shrimp for my man.

Toots was there to supervise and provide conversation. It went something like this . . . .

Me: Toots, go put some clothes on.
Toots: I don't eat my boogers anymore. I flick them. Or I wipe them on my baby because she can't talk.
Me: Awesome. Go inside and get some clothes on. You're in my bubble.
Toots: (Ignores me and continues to be mostly naked and suck on her sucker).

Happy Father's Day to all the GREAT dad's out there!
And if you aren't a great dad . . . . Its never too late to change ;)

Happy dad day Damon. HE better enjoy it now, because the day will soon come he is beating boys off with a stick! Congrats to Toots for the booger thing. It took me a long time to beat that habit. :)

I love everything about this post, especially the commentary WITH the little lady's casual pose. It's like I was there..undies and all.
