A Creative Dad!

A playful parent & Problem solver!

I heard the toddler screaming in the bathtub as his Dad bathed him.

“Mama, mama-waaa-waaa!” wailing his heart out.

I stood in the doorway & watched as the Dad pacified & comforted the boy, explaining, ‘mom is coming soon.’ The mom was nursing the new baby & Dad took over the mom’s routine.

Finally, the Dad stood up, donned his wife’s smock & wrapped his wife’s scarf over his head & sang to the boy in a squeaky feminine voice;

‘I will be your mama & your papa-look at me!-Yea! Yea!- Love you, love you, forever & ever & ever!

The Dad completed bathing the laughing, giggling, happy boy, hugging his Dad.

What a creative, fun Dad! All boys need a Dad! God bless fathers.
