While I have, at times, sparred with Dean Dad over at the Community College Dean's blog, I must say today's blog brought back so many wonderful memories of my children when they were young. It's great to read about the fun a Dad and Daughter can have.
At the end, he writes that it will be a great memory for when he "won't know anything, and she'll greet me with a roll of the eyes and a contemptuous 'Da-a-ad.'"
I am quite fortunate. Perhaps I am simply blessed with great short term memory, but my kids have never truly treated me that way. We had a great time when they were little, and while at times I am reminded I am not needed as often, they still make time for Dad, and for Mom.
Go read Dean Dad's post. Enjoy it. Tell him you heard about him from here. And go--make your own great memories with YOUR kids.
