What do I want for
Father's Day?
My answer, "I am not sure."
I'm a
relatively new father-one year as of last month. How do I even measure my experience? If fatherhood suddenly became a professional sport, then I would be a rookie. (But I'm pretty darn fast at
diaper changes.)
So do I even have the right to ask for
a gift? Of course I do. I earned it. So to my daughter,
Little D, if you are peeking over my shoulder as I write this post please consider the following gifts for Papa:
The Top 5 Things I Want for Father's Day
By Daddy-in-Training
1. One night of uninterrupted sleep, possibly on a Saturday night
2. A hammock stand for that hammock Mama gave to Papa several years ago
3. A framed portrait of you and Mama to hang in my office
4. Two private lessons with a Muay Thai boxing coach (you'll attend with me!)
5. A picnic with you and Mama on our new grass

Of course, the greatest gift you can give me has already been given- fatherhood.
What's on your list?
Whatever your heart desires, Papa!
