Fathers Day....... What does it mean to be a Dad? wish I knew. My 2 year old son has tested me beyond my limits today. I had hoped for a relaxing fun day with my boys and my wife and what i got couldn't be any further from my wishes, which made me question why I really wanted to be a Dad in the first place. I certainly didn't feel like a good Dad today I spent most of it yelling at my 2 year old. I did get to spend a little bit of time on my own gathering my thoughts late in the arvo ( downstairs tinkering in the garage). It didn't take me long to figure out even though I was still angry with my 2 year old I loved him more than I can explain. His little cheeky personality his annoying questions and his uninterupted love for me made me realise all he wants is me. Weather it be tinkering in the garage or playing in his room he just wants to hang out. All the little things that drive me nuts like the hitting, throwing toys at the wall trying to assasinate his little brother or turning the house upside down is just trying to get my attention. HE'S A 2 YEAR OLD for crying out loud how else is he going to COMMUNICATE!!!, so even though I feel my day has been a write off somehow I have ended up feeling like the luckiest and most loved guy on earth and to have two healthy beautiful boys and a wonderful wife that love me with all their hearts....... what an awesome day I wouldn't change it for the world. Sorry for the long babble, Hope you all had a good Fathers Day.
