a good day to be a dad
a couple of days ago i had one of those morning that just assured me i love being a daddy of three kids. i had gotten up a little early and was preparing a bit for a Bible study i was leading later. i had been sick with a nasty sinus cold and the meds weren't working yet. i heard a kid walking down the stairs and it was silas. as he came around the corner i heard him stop, and then he asked the kindest question. "Dad, how are you feeling today?" i can't believe he is old enough to know that i was sick and then cared enough to ask!
next came elle's turn. i poured myself my customary bowl of cereal, cut up a few strawberries, and got all set to eat it. next came another amazing question. "Daddy, would you like to eat your cereal outside with me on the swing?" Wow! what dad in the world would turn down that offer. it was so fun...a nice cool summer morning, bowl of cereal, and my little girl swinging with me on the porch :)
finally, maye, the sweet little one year old that she is, absolutely loves me!!! i don't say that to toot my own horn, but it simply is remarkable! neither elle nor silas actually chose me when they were this age, but that morning (like every other morning these days) maye walked right past brooke and came to me to pick her up! what can i say...she's a daddy's girl and i love it!
