My top 10 best bits of daddyhood are made of the things that keep me going even when I am tired and have been woken up at the crack of dawn again. Being a daddy is often challenging and hard work, but it is also fabulous and the best decision we ever made. I wasn’t sure about having children originally so I thought I would share my top 10 best bits of daddyhood in case any of you were perhaps not sure. I like to be realistic so I don’t want to pretend that everything is always perfect when you have little people so I have also written a post about the 10 worst bits of daddyhood. So here goes…
My top 10 best bits of daddyhood:
- Excited faces greeting you when you get home from work
- Having an excuse to play with all the great toys that didn’t exist when you were a kid
- Hours spent in hamelys and toys ‘r’ us playing under the guise of looking for stuff for the kids
- Family nap time at the weekend
- Running around soft play centres and going on slides without people thinking you are mad
- Hearing I love you daddy and you are the best daddy especially for the first time
- Taking them to see new things and seeing the amazement/ joy on their faces
- Teaching them something new and seeing them achieve something that they couldn’t do the week before
- Always being kept entertained by the things they say and do
- Watching cartoons and the classic kids movies all over again
