"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad."
~ French quotes
The author of this blog simply justified his side of being a Dad. The blog showed the reader that being a father was easy but being a Dad needed special skills. Differentiating a father from a dad through the entire blog was easy for the readers to understood to those who were already a dad. It delivers a very strong message which is called the father’s unconditional love.
The blogger showed how he managed his time properly and wisely. He hitted a lot of birds with a single stone at the same time. (You know what I mean?) He managed to organized their family summer getaway and celebrated his son’s birthday in day. Truly a superman he is.
FORMAT
The author's blog format was good. I could say that when the readers will read the author's blog, they can get some ideas on how to be a responsible dad (of course, if they were a dad) and some other ideas on being a better husband, i bet (of course, if they were one of them).
There are some typographical errors like articles and connecting words. I distinguished few grammatical errors. I noticed some sentences which are too detailed that made the sentence so long. I suggest that maybe next time he could limit his words in one sentence and make it simpler. For example the sentence:
" I called my wife who is still at the office, and insisted on fetching her. I wanted her to accompany us in going to the chapel. "
- he may write:
"I called my wife who is still at the office and insisited to fetch her so she could come with us at the chapel."
Same thought but more simple sentence with minimal usage of words. In regard to his format it was good.

CONTENT
The content of the blogger's write-up was definetly superb. (Yes it is! For me.) I can say that only real man would stand to narrate his experience and happiness on being a husband and a dad. Only few were existing. Hahaha! I bet you ladies that there are only few of them and you are lucky if you have one. (Like me, I guess so far!) Hahaha! Well, aside from these positive thoughts he had wrote, the writer also stated facts on how to be a dad the best dad he could be... I guess so. He used meaningful words to describe his happiness and it is a good point to some readers who needed to expand their pot of vocabularies.
Content-wise, it was good. I coudn’t see any negative comments in this particular part. It was his point of view on how he could be a better man in the eyes of his family, wife and most especially to his son because from the beggining up to the end of his blog, he was just simply saying that this is how I would like my son’s young mind to retain how we value him so much.

PICTURES
The blogger showed flashback picture in celebrating his son’s birthday and it was a good catch up at first with the readers. The picture he used simply reflected what the blog is all about. Maybe next time you could provide more pictures showing proof of the different activities you had accomplished on that day. Also, you may add at least one family picture of yours. Remember according to Horace; "A picture is a poem without words." I guess this is right because simply just looking at the pictures you already stepped in communicating to your avid readers.

All in all this blog was really a superb one. I think no one could deny, especially to those who had already read this blog. It was lovable, fantastic, awesome, meaninful and a genuine one. Kudos to the writer, you made your son proud because I assure you that when he knows how to tap one blog site and read yours, he would say "I LOVE YOU DAD!“ 😉😊

Justin's 2nd Birthday by 
" Daaah~Daaah! "
Hello fellow Steemians! 👋😊 That is how Justin calls me. From the proper word -- Daddy, his baby talking uttered the words Dadah instead. Yesterday was Justin's birthday. Time flies too fast. My little baby boy is already 2 yrs old. It was only last year that we celebrated his first birthday. (Of course!) And Justin was always energetic and joyful whenever we tease him to go outside and play.
I left our home as early as 7am because I have to comply on some laboratory tests regarding my health. I did fasting for almost 9 hours, restricting from solids and fluids. I skipped breakfast at home because it is a requirement that I should empty my stomach for the lab procedure. Justin wa still sleeping when I left, so I asked for my mother to take care of him for the meantime while I am gone outside. After piercing needles and extracting some red fluid from my body done in the clinic, I hurriedly proceed to the car wash station because we will be going somewhere afterwards. I cannot skip my breakfast, so I reached for the nearest carinderia near the car wash station and ordered for rice porridge and fried soy bean curd (Lugaw & Tokwa). I still have my bottled water which i fetched from the clinic, so I bought a sachet of instant coffee mix and prepared my cold coffee. After I finished my break-fast (because I ate it too fast), I went back at the car wash station and found out that they were not yet finished cleaning my car. Maybe I ate breakfast faster than I thought. So I sat down in the waiting area, checked on some messages on my tablet and had a chat with some customers awaiting for their automobiles.
After my car was fully-cleaned, I called my wife who is still at the office and insisited to fetch her so she could come with us at the chapel. It is a Filipino-Catholic tradition to attend mass and express our gratitude to our Lord for adding another year of existence. But then, my wife asked if we could go to KFC Drive-Thru because she is very hungry. We ordered spaghetti, mashed potato, creamy mushroom soup for Justin, chicken nuggets for Jeremy, and original recipe chicken for my wife.
When we arrived at home, Justin was ready to go. He was waiting for us near the gate. He was very excited and cheerful so I thought of taking some pictures of him.
My wife was sleepy when we were at the chapel. She was working in a call center, and that explains it. I insisted to drive her back home and took a rest first. She agreed with it but she wanted to plan first the events that we will be doing for the rest of the day.
Because my wife is asleep, she did not have the time to bake a cake for Justin. Luckily, my brother sponsored Justin's cake. A luscious sweet mango sponge cake covered with cream. It was one of Justin's favorite flavor.
Justin spent the rest of the day running and laughing. We visited Cristina Villas Resort and made reservations for our swimming and family outing to be held at Sunday. That was one of our plan, to let Justin enjoy dipping in the pool. As Justin enjoyed swimming last week on our kiddie pool installed at the terrace of the house.
After the site visit and inspection, we drove to the mall. It was dual purpose, for Justin to unleash some of his high energy while running around and for my mother to do her groceries. But Justin wanted to ride the push cart, so we let Justin sit on it as we grab some things needed at home. After the groceries, we bought food that we can eat at home and celebrate with. Justin wanted to take a photo with Jollibee's life size statue. A little girl wanted to stay with Jollibee and won't even budge as she saw as wanting to take a picture of Justin. So by being humane, we let her be the photo bomber she wanted to be and took a snap with Justin's cute grin.
At last, we came home not so late. Just right timing getting ready for dinner. I didn't have the chance to capture Justin eating his favorite sinigang. He eats fast for his age. He must be too hungry and tired spending his energy on running and shouting. Two family pan-sized spaghetti, a bucket of chicken, pork barbecue, laing and rice. That would be our dinner for tonight.
