Dad

Here's a quick post for my husband in honor of Father's Day.


Let me share three non-traditional reasons that Carlos is an excellent father.  Make that, dad.


1.  He allows the girls to refer to him as "Mr. Mermaid Washer."


Mr. Mermaid Washer comes to the rescue when Mom needs a little help bathing her children, who often turn into mermaids when they enter a bathtub.

I seem to be short on bath photos.
Here's an oldie, but goodie of chunky little Fi:
Mermaid in training.  

2.  He makes waffles in the shape of butterflies.


Carlos is big on food presentation.  Heck, he can even make macaroni & cheese or a peanut butter & jelly sandwich look gourmet.  (Both are crowd pleasers at our house.)

3.  He uses voices when he reads to the kids.


I have found that he does an especially good Scarlet Monster, Leonardo the Terrible Monster, and Elmo.  Catching a trend?

This is where I would insert a photo of Carlos with the girls, but since he is currently in the middle of a Father's Day nap, this drawing of him made by Ava will have to do.

Carlos, your daughters and I thank you for all the little things you do.  (And the big things too.)  We love you!
