Happy Feet!

A testimony of what a good dad David is:

Our church was hosting a Harvest Festival and children were encouraged to dress in costume. Of course, I had all the good intention of purchasing a costume in advance before the event, however, I couldn't decide on a costume and before I knew it Saturday came about and Noah was without festive attire.

It was a Saturday afternoon and as usual we were running late. I suggested that we forget the costume and just take Noah to the festival. No big deal, right?

And then David asked me, "What if he's the only one without a costume?"

Yes...what if he is the only one without a costume?

The thought of Noah having to bear the social price for my mistake was unbearable. David rushed us to the nearest costume store. If time constraints weren't enough trouble to have to deal with, we arrived at the store only to find a limited selection of costumes for infants.

We decided on the penguin suit after trying a number of alternative options. Turned out that the penguin suit was the last one on the shelf, AND it was missing a foot. Not a good day.

But, we improvised and took duck feet instead :)

We eventually made it to the party with the world's cutest penguin in tow. Despite all the hassle, hub-bub, and rush I was so glad that David went the extra mile. The unbearably cute vision of Noah waddling around in his penguin suit is a memory to cherish forever!
