In Dad’s Shoes .:. Father’s Day 2014

 

 

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads out there! What makes a great Dad? A man who is devoted to his kids, who teaches them, laughs with them, plays with them, gives them undivided attention, demonstrates love and respect, and loves them unconditionally. A man who chooses his children over his pride. A man who will do anything for his children.

 

The kiddos below sure do love their daddies and were very excited to put on their BIG shoes, and show their dad’s just how special they truly are! I asked each one why they want to grow up to be like their dad and was met with some awesome answers, enjoy!

I WANT MY CHILD TO GROW UP TO BE LIKE THEIR DAD BECAUSE…

“I hope my children grow up to be like their dad because their dad is awesome. Seriously.  I’m in awe at what an all around great guy he is. My favorite thing about him is that he’s a family man who loves his wife and children. I love to watch how joyfully he plays with the kiddos as soon as he arrives home from work. And he’s always there to help me with whatever needs to be done. There is no place he’d rather be than at home with his family. We call our family “Team Robinson” to promote a cooperative culture in our home. Working hard and cheerfully contributing to the  “team” are values that I respect about him. He teaches these values to our children daily through his example. He is helpful, considerate, and kind. And he is smart, generous, and humble. He is loving and chivalrous (he still opens doors for me!) I hope my son grows up to be a well-mannered gentleman with good values like his daddy.  And I hope my daughter, grows to be a lady with similar values and, if she chooses to marry, I hope she is lucky enough to marry a man like her daddy.”
