Daddy can fix ANYTHING...


Daddies are amazing men. Growing up I always remember my Dad puttering around the house, fixing this and that. He was a marine mechanic and small engines were his specialty. I guess I would have thought he could fix just about anything, but nothing can compare to the faith that Aidan has in his Daddy!

Aidan has always thought Nathan was responsible for changing EVERY lightbulb in the ENTIRE world. We could be at someone else's house and he would see a light bulb out and would instantly say "Daddy fix". At the grocery store, a light flickering high above the canned goods..."Daddy fix". The sight of a street lamp not on would almost certainly bring on the cries of "Daddy fix". If a hotwheel lost a wheel or a train track came undone, I was always certain to hear it..."Daddy fix".

Then one day, the true level of faith this little boy had in his father revealed itself to me. Aidan was using the bathroom when I heard the familiar "Mom, wipe my bum?" I went in to help my little man, when he had to point out his ummmmmmm "accomplishment" in the toilet. He was a little distressed though because it happened to be in 2 pieces. It was broken and he wasn't very happy about it. Just then, his face lit up and he looked at me with a renewed hope...you guessed it...his next words out of his mouth were..."Daddy fix"

Now that's faith!
