Happy Father's Day!

Yesterday, Peter celebrated his first Father's Day.

Dear Dada,

Dada you are special; Dada you are sweet.
You bring joy to my life and make our family complete.

Mommy takes care of me during the day,
But I look forward the most to when you come home and play!

I watch out the window and crawl across the floor,
And I shriek with delight when you arrive at the door!

You can make me laugh and bring smiles to my face,
But more importantly, you give me love through your embrace.

It's no surprise I love to move along;
For I am your daughter and my will is strong.

But when I tumble and fall down,
Your hugs and kisses always turn me around.

You read to me and take me out;
It's the time we spend together that I'm happy about.

You show me patience and give me your time.
During the night, you get up with Mommy at my littlest whine.

You comfort and calm me so very much;
I'm truly blessed to experience your touch.

When the sun has set, and the moon has rose,
You pray with me and say goodnight with a kiss on my nose.

I've found my voice; there is no doubt
That I can pierce others' ears with my shrill, shrill, shrill shout!


Your love is the greatest, and that's why I scream;
For there is no better Dada that I ever could dream.

I love you Dada;
You are the BEST!
It's no secret that I prefer you far above the rest!

Love,
Olivia
