Two more reasons I love being a dad:
My three year old Emily fell asleep today on the couch while holding a large dill pickle in her hand. Cathie found her asleep and took the pickle form her. Emily woke up and told my wife "I'm going to fall back asleep with a pickle and see if it disappears again."

I came up to bed the other night and found that my 6 year old daughter Madeline had left a note by my bedside that read: "Keep this with you. I love you dad and I will never stop. Remember the fun times we have. Just a reminder. Madeline"
