Dedicated Dads

Nothing makes me feel more grateful, warm and happy than seeing dads be an active part of their children's lives through unschooling/homeschooling and daily living. I know I've posted this JCB song before, but I heard this song today and it always makes me feel so fortunate to have a husband who is hands on and supportive of our lifestyle. Last night he helped me twice in the night with Camden. He is so gentle and caring in the middle of the night, unlike me. I am known to be cranky at those times when I am asleep. I have had the pleasure of meeting many other caring dads over the past few years! It is something to be entirely grateful for. It is a wonderful paradigm shift in the United States.

So here's to all those dads out there who give that extra hand and compassion when moms and kids need it, or even when they don't! And here's a big hug to my husband who does so much so I can be here with the kids! Thanks a bunch!

Cheers!

Lyrics to JCB song:

Well, I'm rumblin' in this JCB.
I'm 5 years old and my dad's a giant sitting beside me.
And the engine rattles my bum like berserk
While we're singin, 'Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work!'

My dad's probably had a bloody hard day
But he's been good fun and bubblin and jokin' away
And the procession of cars stuck behind
are gettin all impatient and angry, but we dont mind.

An' we're holdin up the bypass
oh
Me and my dad havin a top laugh
oh woah

Sittin on the toolbox
oh
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school

Oh no...

And we pull over to let cars past
And pull off again, speedin by the summer green grass
And we're like giants up here in our big yellow digger
Like zoids, or transformers, or maybe even bigger

And I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets
And I'll tell all my mates that my dad's B.A. Baracus
Only with a JCB and Bruce Lee's nunchuckas

And We're holdin up the bypass
Weh Oh
Me and my dad havin a top laugh
Weh Oh weh oh

Sittin on the toolbox
Weh Oh
And I'm so glad I'm not in school, boss
So glad I'm not in school

And we're holdin up the bypass
Weh Oh

Me and my dad havin a top laugh
Weh Oh
I'm sittin on the toolbox
Weh Oh

And I'm so glad I'm not in school, Boss
So glad I'm not in school

Said I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round

And we're holdin' up the bypass
Weh Oh

Me and my dad havin a top laugh
Weh Oh
And I'm sittin on the toolbox
oh

And I'm so glad I'm not in school, Boss
So glad I'm not in school

I said

I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his

Aw, I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
I'm Luke, I'm five, and my dad's Bruce Lee. Drives me round in his JCB.
