Happy Birthday David!

Happy Birthday to the Daddy who fixes broken hydraulics and faulty caterpillar treads. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who can wrestle with his sons much better than the Mummy. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who pours the Mummy a glass of wine. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who makes the best egg sandwiches and buttered toast. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who cries when he laughs. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who invented Man Camp. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who soothes his baby son back to sleep...every night. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who buys good coffee. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who loves the colour orange. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who cringes only a little when the Mummy buys more yarn. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who tells the best monster story. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who can and does cook a lot more than egg sandwiches and buttered toast. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who teaches his son how to use tools safely. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who listens to cool music. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who works really hard. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who wraps presents perfectly. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who always, always does the laundry. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who loves to play with his sons. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who encourages the Mummy to carry her new mobile phone...and turn it on. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who scares away monsters. Happy Birthday to the Daddy who understands the Mummy's inability to properly count the minutes/ hours/days it requires to make a birthday present {late again! rats...sorry dear!}. And Happy Birthday to the Daddy who each and every day fills his family's hearts with laughter and love. Happy Birthday David!
We love you.

Your "Ode to Daddy" is the best birthday present a Daddy could ever receive! Happy birthday, David! You really are an awesome daddy!
