Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Sir! Today Poppy crept into our room first thing this morning, proudly bringing the card she had made at nursery and i took her downstairs to fetch the cakes i helped her to make yesterday - we iced the tops of them to spell out 'Happy Fathers Day' when arranged on the tray but somehow since making them one of the 'y' cakes went missing and Poppy claims not to know anything about it nor how icing got all over her bed! But apart from that Sir was really pleased with His gifts and we had a nice family snuggle in bed for a while.

Today we went out for a walk in the woods and had a picnic lunch, where most of the cakes got demolished, then we came back home this afternoon and have been chilling out in the garden. After a while it got too hot for me so i came indoors, but Sir and Poppy had a good time spraying the hose around and generally getting wet!

Poppy just adores her Daddy and it's plain to see why - He is a great father and exactly the kind of dad i would have chosen for my children. Sir is firm but fair, patient and tolerant, kind and funny, protective and nurturing, consistent and trustworthy, he reassures Poppy when she is scared, encourages her when she is trying something new, praises her when she is good, gently disciplines her when she is naughty, guides and teaches her new things everyday, shows her He loves her as well as telling her, and helps her to be the best little Poppy she can be. i am so in love with Him as a father as well as a husband and Master and know that He will be a brilliant dad to the twins as well when they get here.

Happy Father's Day to all those great dads out there, i hope you enjoy your day :)
