Dada Day....a little late.

Dada,

You are the best Dada ever.....I love it when you chase me around and we get to yell at the top of our lungs together.   I love it when we read books together at each nap and in the mornings I love going with you to wake Mama up!!   Thanks for all of the good times this year so far......my 1st bday, our first waterpark/spring break trip, first haircut, and zoo trip.  I cant wait to do more with you.

Luv you lots,
Clarkie
