Donuts With Dad - You know sometimes it is the little things that make a difference to a child. For two weeks Annie has been reminding me that today was Donuts with Dad day at school. It was not much, just donuts and either juice or milk. Annie and Israel were accompanied by me, their daddy. They loved it, and it was nice to see other daddies taking part in their children's life. What was sad was the amount of kids with no dad there, or making excuses why their dad/father figure could not be there. I had 2 hrs sleep at most, and a minor crisis at work that I got woke up to take care of, but you know what, my kids are important.
It made me think of a blog entry I saw where a person who is about to have a kid asked people what to look for in day care. One person replied, well, why have a kid if you are not going to take care of them and enjoy them. You do not have children to give them to someone else to raise.
