I got in trouble
September 20, 2002 – 2:45 pmLast night Jen told me people were going to think I don’t like being a dad because I only write negative stuff. I told her it was all tongue-in-cheek and that my loyal followers knew that. I also told her she didn’t have to read it if she didn’t like what I wrote. I probably shouldn’t have said that. So I’m here to set the record straight. I love my little baby boy. I love holding him when he’s awake and seeing him look up at me with those enormous blue eyes. I love being able to soothe him and stop him from crying when no one else can. I love rubbing his soft baby skin with my beard and making him smile. Sometimes when he cries it makes me cry too. I love to laugh at the faces he makes when he’s waking up. I like to feed him and have him give me that “thank you, dad, for the yummy bottle” look. I’m amazed at how long he can sit in his bouncy chair just observing the world around him without getting bored or impatient. I love when he sleeps in the bed with us and I can put my arm around him and protect him. There is nothing in the world more peaceful and defenseless than a sleeping baby. I love to watch his mom change his dirty diapers. I love writing this journal, I need to do it more often even if just to remind us all how precious children are.
I love my son and don’t you forget it.
PS. He got another clean shirt last night. Score: Liam 3 – Clean shirts 0.
-Take care and God bless

What father in his right mind wouldn’t (like)love his son? Sometimes I have trouble finding the right words to express my love for my son. Other times I and others feel I don’t spend enough time with him. I wish sometimes I could be more to him. But I enjoy each and every moment with my son. He amazes me with the things he says and learns. The things he does. My son can hit a ball with a bat real far. He really surprises me. I could go on like any father could. Children can really amaze you how and what they learn, and how they use the infomation in what situations. I love doing things with my son. And what is saying? Women are the emotions, men are the doers? Men(fathers) may not to be able to express themselves too well, but we make up in deeds. If I could I would do anything for my son(within reason, ofcourse).
