Father's Day

Saw this posted on my cousin's blog; thought it was cute and stole it...

REASONS TO CELEBRATE DAD

1 Someone needs to deal with the "some assembly reequired" stuff.

2 Who else would dare face that black fuzzy spider under the basement stairs?

3 His shaving cream comes in handy for rainy-day crafts.

4 He has an amazing ability to cheer up a cranky child merely by tossing him in the air.

5 He's happy to discuss the finer points of old Road Runner and Coyote cartoons with the kiddos.

6 No one else ever seems to know exactly where the bicycle-tire pump is.

7 He insists that you look even better than you did before you had kids. (And if he's lying, he does it really, really well.)

8 Amazingly, macho man though he is, he doesn't mind having his nails painted bright pink by an enthusiastic pre-school manicurist.

9 He doesn't make fun of you when you do yoga in the living room. Well, most of the time.

10 Fatherhood looks sexier on him than you could have imagined.

My kids are so lucky to have Dan as their dad. I can't imagine anyone else fitting that job description better. Happy Father's day!

Dan's first day as daddy.
