The Greatest Pa in the World

I was talking to my dad this morning, and it was kindly brought to my attention that in the post that I did of my family in Florida, Pa was neither pictured, or given an "honarable mention" as he called it like the other people who were not pictured did. So, in light of this new information, I thought I would "honor" him by telling you why he is the greatest Pa in the world. Pa has several talents.

# 1.His first and most noticable one is he is great at earning the affection of even his tiniest new grandchildren by drawing their attention to his hat. They gaze in awe as he raises their tiny little faces to this wonderful object that sits atop his head.

# 2. Pa has an uncanny ability to smell out a stinky diaper. There could be four babies in the room, no one else being bothered by this smell that Pa swears exists. As each parent checks the diapers of their little one, sure enough one of them has gone poo poo.

# 3. Pa is absolutely unable to let a baby just cry even if that is the intention of the well meaning parent. If Pa is anywhere in the vacinity of a crying baby, he rescues them from the mean parents that are just sitting there watching the baby cry. Hence, a bunch of spoiled rotten grandchildren who will eventually always reach for the Pa!

# 4. Pa never holds a crying baby who wants its mama. He does not believe in making a baby upset, therefore doing anything in his power to stop the crying, especially if he is holding Allie because we all know that when the girl wants her mama, the girl wants her mama!

# 5. Pa has the greatest ability to let each grandchild know they are loved in a very unique special way. He connects with each child differently through different interest of theirs, and is always there with words of love, encouragement and understanding as he always was with us!
