Getting out of a nice hot shower, peeking in on your wife and baby boy to see if they are awake, seeing his little eyes and forehead pop out from under the covers, and then (as he recognizes his father) seeing him bolt upright with a HUGE smile on his face as he points and yells "dada...DA DA DAAAADAAAAA" enthusiastically!

I just can't express in words how that makes me feel!!! :) :) :) :)

What a GREAT way to start the day!

You are lucky!

Since I leave early, I have to sneak out of the house quietly as to not wake up my 21 MO boy or else all hell breaks loose!

LOL at Doggiedog! :)

Yeah, sometimes they are still both asleep and I try to be as "stealthy" as possible as I get ready for work. This morning he was wide awake after I got out of the shower for some reason.

I've got an even more exciting way to start your day (not nearly as happy, though). Just a few short months/years in your future you're going to roused out of bed by that same cherubic face as he shakes you awake to say "Daddy, I don't feel so...BLLLEEEECCH!"

Why is it that whenever a nice thread is posted and everyone is agreeing with the originator
or sharing their similar stories someone has to come along and feel that its necessary to piss in his cheerios.

Course considering my wife sleeps in like 4 blankets at night doubt it'll ever happen. :p

Down, boy! I'm not pissing in anyone's Cheerios. It was a joke. I've had the luck to experience both situations and was just passing it on. So there. :p

"Happiness is................"

increased activity in the so-called pleasure centra in the brain, accompanied by elevated levels of serotonine.

Reading old Peanuts cartoons with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, & the gang. :)


Visit the Charles Schultz museum and Redwood Empire ice skating rink in Santa Rosa!

Harumph! In my day, you would get a handwritten note that said "Do you like me? Circle Yes or No". And we liked it that way! Dadburn it...
 

Oh my! Why did you do this to me! :eek: This thread brings back a hymnal I learned during childhood:

Happiness is to know the Saviour,
Living a life within His favour,
Having a change in my behaviour,
Happiness is the Lord.

Happiness is a new creation,
Jesus and me in close relation,
Having a part in His salvation,
Happiness is the Lord.
Real joy is mine, no matter if tear-drops start;
I've found the secret it's Jesus in my heart!

Happiness is to be forgiven,
Living a life that's worth the livin',
Taking a trip that leads to heaven,
Happiness is the Lord,
Happiness is the Lord,
Happiness is the Lord!
