Homemade Tie for Dad
In preschool, my sweet little 3 year old brought home this awesome homemade tie for my husband for Father’s Day. Being the very cool Dad that he is, my hubby wore the tie to work every day for a week (and still does sometimes!).

What my son doesn’t know is that his Daddy kept a supply of ties in his desk at work and that he really only wore his creation for the car ride. It doesn’t really matter the length of time that the tie was worn at all, because I can assure you that both of them were beaming with pride each morning.
