any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad
- unknown
i had several things i was going to blog about tonight, but when i asked finn about his day and his eyes got big
and he started stumbling over his words to tell me ALL about his trip to the science museum with christopher and scoutie, i felt compelled to write about dads. one of the highlights of their day was the strobe light camera that captured their shadows on a screen. finn told me how he and scout made crazy movements and how christopher jumped high in the air and the camera captured his shadow. he said it was "so cool" - his new favorite word. they also saw a movie at the museum on outer space, had their photos taken in a photo booth and ate lunch at an outdoor cafe in balboa park.
i sat there listening and thought wow, i'm so lucky to have a him as my boys' dad. (and admit i was a lil jealous i wasn't able to be with them for all the fun). i know there are other great dads out there, as my dad is one of them, BUT i don't see those other dads everyday. i see christopher everyday with our boys and am grateful that he fully participates in raising them. he wants them around and they want to be around him. he willingly (but not easily), takes off every friday from work to stay home with them. i know he enjoys it as much as they do.
that's just one of a hundred things he does that makes him an amazing dad.
