It happened this morning. We were done visiting that new daycare center for our 18-month-old daughter and as we were walking back to the car, I was holding her in my arms, it was sunny and warm outside and there was that gentle breeze blowing when she suddenly closed her eyes, tilted her head back and just let the wind caress her face. It lasted only a few seconds, but it was kinda surreal, it felt like time had stopped for her. Pure bliss. I wish I had a camera at that very moment, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

Ok, I know it's pure cheese, especially if you don't have kids, but I had to share.  

 

and then she farted and laughed  

my fave bits are when i put mine to sleep (after i pull my hair out half the time i'm with her) she hugs me and kisses and and goes I LOVE U BABAH (thats what she calls, dont laugh). that or after shes being happy playing she goes BABAH UR MY BEST FWEND EVAR and i joke with her MAYBE U SHOULD GO OUT MORE and she gives me this yea-buh-what face.

 

that's not cheesy. Kids are great. I don't have any, but want some. Got to find the right woman first though.

 

Nice story Pascel. I sometimes miss my kids at that age...

 

I still call my Dad that.

 

That's pretty cool mega times like that makes you glad to be a father.  

 

its 315 am. My 2 month old daughter is wide awake, full of energy

 

I would laugh if it were any kind of funny. Prehaps you should let her lay off the redbull hulk.

 

Faith in humanity = restored

 

Best moment for me is when my 2-1/2 year old son looks at me, says "Da-Da" and puts his arms around me for a hug. There are no feelings greater than being a dad.  

 

that sounds sweet  

 

I know what you mean, when I put mine to bed every night, no matter how bad they might have been that day or how much they made me want to pull my hair out when they grab my face and say I love you and sweet dreams daddy it makes everything else alright and I feel like I'm doing a good job. But on a funny note it's great when my son or daughter will be playing and one of them rips one, they look at me and say I farted and start laughing...but here lately my son wants us to pull his finger....it's great having kids

 

I really miss those days *sigh*

Now my oldest is 15 and has her first boyfriend, where does the time go?!? 

 

Did he get a good look at your shotgun?  

 

I only just found out about this the other day. My kids live with their mom a little bit out west so I only see them on weekends, so who knows when I'll meet the kid? 

Of course whenever I DO meet him.....MWAHAHAHAHA 

 

I like cheese, thanks man.

 

me too... its shortened to just Bah now..  

 

tik/atl! up high! *azn five*

 

Awww, that's not cheesy at all! It's those moments that make all the hardships of parenting totally worth it.

 

Great stories guys, thanks for sharing them.. keep on being great Dads!!!
