You know you're a good Dad when...




Morning musical productions like these are commonplace-the ones where you make the whole family laugh so hard your wife can't take a nongiggleshake picture.

You let your son eat in the car because he looks at you like this



  • You squeeze into the kid size twisty slide because your son wants to go down it together
  • Your son runs to the door as soon as you come home screaming, "Daddo! Yeah! Daddy home!!"
  • Your son's greetings are followed by pleas of, "Fly Daddy?" To which you answer by picking him up and flying him around the house.
  • You've memorized the words to Yankee Doodle Dandy and learned all the hand motions to Mae Sue
  • You have special dates with your son to the coffee shops for smoothies and spinachcroissants
  • Your wife and son are spread over the family bed and you don't want to wake them by moving them so you sleep in the baby room!
  • You've personally taken all the family videos of your son
  • You know the names of all your sons favorite playgrounds and take him to them when your wife needs to rest
  • You've memorized the track numbers of your sons favorite songs and know which ones make him sleepy
  • You match your clothes with your son because he likes to look, "just like Daddy"
  • You wear scrubs that smell like feet to work because your wife didn't switch the wash to the dryer on time
  • You talk about a minivan all the time-as in you'd actually like to have one
  • When you are home everything is, "Daddy do it with you" (Shadden calls himself, "you")
