Here are her thoughts:<\/p>\n<p>1) <em>He is always smiling<\/em> \u2013 it\u2019s true, Daddy Dearest always looks at the kids with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>2) <em>He loves us<\/em> \u2013 not only does he say it, but he shows it in the way he talks and in the way he build the kids up<\/p>\n<p>3) <em>He loves mummy<\/em> \u2013 I loved that she noticed this because daddy definitely loves mummy and I want the kids to grow up in that love<\/p>\n<p>4) <em>He is funny<\/em> \u2013 Always goofing around and naturally loud is what makes Daddy Dearest so endearing. His positivity and ability to never complain teaches us all so much. He helps fill out home with joyous laughter!<\/p>\n<p>5) <em>He forgives me<\/em> \u2013 this quality is one I hope he instills in the kid. He has the ability to forgive fully and totally.<\/p>\n<p>6) <em>He likes to play<\/em> \u2013 the kids are blessed with a dad who does not worry about life, he enjoys it. He cherishes moments and truly lives!<\/p>\n<p>7) <em>He cooks better than mummy<\/em> \u2013 Daddy Dearest is a professional chef but he cooks with love and from the heart. He pretty much can do anything around the house. This mummy is really lucky! Such a great role model for out little girl and especially our little boy.<\/p>\n<p>8)<em> He treats me like a princess and tiger like a prince<\/em> \u2013 children learn what they live, not what we tell them to learn. We also teach kids how others are allowed to treat them. The kids are blessed to have a father who has never raised a hand or hurled a harsh word in their direction, or mine. He teaches them daily that they are special in what he says and how to acts toward them<\/p>\n<p>9) <em>He likes work<\/em> \u2013 he works long hours and he works hard but he never says anything negative. He supports his family with heart and always puts in 150%.<\/p>\n<p>10) <em>He loves Jesus<\/em> \u2013 having a connection to God and praying as a family keeps us focused and strong<\/p>\n<p>I cannot wait until Tiger (5 month old) can talk too. Its clear that this daddy has left his imprint on their lives and in their hearts.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Father\u2019s Day my love!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Note: If you enjoyed this article, and would like to stay updated with more, you can:<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><i><\/i><span class=\"s1\"><i>Subscribe to our free weekly Jozikids\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/member-registration\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>newsletter<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0 for parents in Gauteng<\/i><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><i><\/i><span class=\"s1\"><i>Like us on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jozikids.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Facebook<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><i><\/i><span class=\"s1\"><i>Follow us on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/jozikids?igshid=1n8cwedrewul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Instagram<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It didn&#8217;t take too long for my 5 (almost 6 year old) to rattle off a list of what her daddy means to her and voila, this blog was born.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":220,"featured_media":14734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fatherhood"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/220"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jozikids.co.za\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
