The Best Daddy

While I know it's been fully established here on the blog that Mark is the best daddy in the world, don't think for a second that I'm going to stop bragging about him.

I've mentioned that my husband son [Isaac, 5] loves Legos. Last month Mark made for Isaac a much-desired Larry Boy:


Since then, Isaac has been asking Mark to make him a monkey. With instructions. After all, the instructions are his favorite part. Last night after Isaac went to bed, Mark built a little monkey for him. Then he took it apart, piece by piece, and then built it again, this time taking photos of each step. He put the set of instructions on the computer so that Isaac could click through them one by one. Here's the final photo:


And this is Isaac, at about 7:30 this morning:


And if you remain unconvinced about the best-daddy assertion, let me just say that Adelia was up at 4am, 4:30am, and 5am, and Mark was up with her every.single.time. Ella was up once, too, now that I think of it. This all after Mark went to sleep at midnight.

And that's just all in the past 8 hours. Don't even get me started on yesterday.

Case closed.

  1. That's GREAT! I LOVE it! I enjoy reading your blog, but I don't know if I've EVER posted a comment. I don't lurk deliberately, however it seems I have a touch of ADD. :o) I am up, down, at the computer, doing dishes, putting up laundry, back at the pc...boy. I'm getting tired just READING it! :o) Oh yeah...and HOMESCHOOLING! :o) I have one kiddo - and I can't imagine how you get everything done with all of yours when there are some days I can't with ONE! :o) Anyway, gotta go clean some more...glad that someone else has a phenomenal Daddy, too! Isn't God good? :o)
