I love Fathers Day, I think I almost love it more than Mothers Day. Almost.
I think I am loving it more and more the older my children get. It is so much fun to watch them honor their father, and it is so much fun to be able to honor my father, father in law, and my grandpas.
I have many wonderful men surrounding me, and I am so full of gratitude for the roll they play and have played in mine, as well as my families lives.
But I would like to wish an especially wonderful Fathers Day to my Husband, Pappa Toph.
Here are the top ten reasons why Toph is a wonderful father, and why he deserves a great Father’s Day
10. He eats my cooking, and ALWAYS says yummy or delicious and Thank You to whatever I cook (except for pancakes, but that is my fault, he eats whatever is put in front of him, but I often forget that he really likes THIN pancakes, not fluffy ones) 🙂
9. He’s got good genes. Case and Point: Toph is the best Wrestler, for reals, he wrestled in High School, and has passed those wrestling genes down to our boys. Anyone who doubts me, just needs to watch Truman. He can come into a room of Tuckers friends, and goes right for the knees, and can take out kids 3 times his size. He’s Got Good Genes.
8.He knows good toys when he see them. I see toys(like Mr. Potato head for example) that look like so much fun to me, but the boys NEVER touch. (the only time Mr. Potato head comes out, is when mom plays with him…poor guy)
7.He can make up and tell stories better than anyone I know. The boys quarell over whom dad gets to read stories too at night, because he makes stories so much fun.
6. No one knows more about bugs, and finding bugs, and what to feed bugs, and what to do with bugs…. (and lets be honest, what do 2 young boys care more about than bugs? NOTHING, we’ll maybe food, but besides food, nothing occupies there mind more and more often than bugs.
5. He is a wonderful provider, with a unique set of skills. I have tremendous stability in my life due to his amazing skill sets.
4. He is still a child at heart.
3. Since we have been engaged, Toph has ALWAYS said, that he willing to take out our children during Sacrament Meeting, and even shares the snacks I pack with the boys 🙂 Just Kidding, I don’t bring snacks for the KIDS 🙂
2. He teaches our children wonderful principles and lives them daily in his life.
1. He’s a Natural Father. Children Love Toph. He loves to play with them, and they love to be with him.
