The Joys of Fatherhood
Sometimes being a father teaches you more about yourself than it does about your kids. As my son grows older it has become increasingly obvious that he is a carbon copy of me. His attitude, his demeanor, his temper, his mannerisms, and even his sense of humor typical Young guy through and through. At breakfast once this week we were enjoying his favorite food, a banana, when he spotted the blue sticker on the peel. He reached for it and I helped him peel it off and he proceeded, completely on his own, to place it on his face. As I went to tell him that’s not where it went I read the caption. “Place on forehead and smile.” Guess he knew what he was doing.
We have also found out that Reed is as much of an aspiring rock star as dear old dad still is. Whenever there’s a guitar around he has to have it, and he is really diggin’ on Rock Band lately. Guess he’ll be getting a mini Les Paul as soon as he can control those digits. What a great kid I have.
If you have kids, have you taken the time to notice their interests lately? What can you do to feed those interests and passions? Don’t have kids…how ’bout the interests of your spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend, or friends?
