At our wonderful school (have I mentioned how sad I am to leave our elementary school. We have had the best experience there) they have a program called "Watch Dogs" It is when dads of students get to be at the school for the day and help out with things. Josh got to do it last week and he loved being with the kids.
Palmer's class got to go on a field trip to a park to eat lunch and play kick ball (Palmer's favorite) and Josh got to tag along. Then he went and spent some time in Lincoln's classroom. What a rare experience to have your dad at school with you.
Have I mentioned how much our boys adore Josh? I am sure I have a few hundred times. I love the look on Lincoln's face in this picture. That is exactly what he thinks of his daddy. Josh will go with them in our "wilderness" and explore and teach and love and encourage. I love how patient his is with them. How he listens to them and their thoughts about life.
I love how our boys know that they are his number 1 priority. A lot of times Josh is absolutely swamped at work and will bring home a million and one things that he needs to do. He never does them until they go to bed. A lot of nights I will find him laying down with the boys in their bed talking to them about life.
I thank Heavenly Father EVERY DAY for this amazing man and his fathering/husbanding skills.

What a wonderful program your boys' school has! If their new one doesn't have the Watch Dog program, maybe you can implement there?? You seem like the type who wouldn't be afraid to talk to the principal. :) An experience like that, with a child's dad, is priceless in my book.
That is a good idea Lynette! It was definitely a priceless experience for all of them.
Glad I could help. :) :) I love reading your blog. I always feel happy when I'm done. Your boys are boisterous and fun to read about! They remind me a lot of my two girls...Who knew girls could be boisterous, too? haha
