The Best Things in Fatherhood are Unplanned
When you first learn you are becoming a father, certain things run through your mind. First and foremost you think, “HOLY CRAP!” But after that, many other things run through your thoroughly frenzied mind that include playing catch with your son, waiting up late for your daughter, paying for college, and having someone to bring you cold drinks on a hot summer’s day.
But there are also some things you don’t think about. For some reasons, no one thinks of the toys you step on in the dark, kids wiping boogers on your pants, Taylor Swift or screaming for no apparent reason. Unless, of course, you’re screaming because of Taylor Swift.
But there are also things you don’t think about that end up being a total bonus to being a Dad. Never in a million years do you think of these things prior to having a kid or, even, right up to the moment they occur. Instead, every once in a while fatherhood hands you something so funny and awesome that when it happens, the only thing you can do is giggle. And,of course, take a picture.

I love it. There are some words I just want the Mini-Kamp to say because they are unintentionally dirty and hillarious all wrapped in one.

Ah, yes. The things I hear my husband giggling about, and then rip his off for laughing at. The joy!

That picture is fantastic and will follow her around for a long time. Now that’s what being a good dad is all about.
