Give Me The Sight To Continue To Be His Role Model

He has me wrapped around his long little fingers, but I that's what happens when you are face to face with a little version of you. He has my face, his moms "love" of having to wake up, my temper(Oh God!), mommy's nose, my foot and hand size and both of our determination rolled into one little body.

I find myself sitting up with him as early as 5am, I sit him in his hoppy so that he can sit up and see me and we talk. We talk about what happened before he was born, we have planned a trip to Cleveland in 2016 with his Papa to see his first ever Browns game, we talk about what his plans are as he gets old, the fact that his right hand taste better than the left one and we make up songs and stories.

Yeah I must say if you truly know me then my behavior around my son is completely normal, if you don't know me that well then it appears that Asher has me completely out of character. We sang mommy a song while she was in the shower, we attacked the dog and rubbed our feet on her belly just to make her growl a little. Our greatest accomplishment to date is our breakfast song we made up and rapped to mommy this morning it went like this "I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast but how would you like some butter for your breakfast toast. We got fresh bacon and I made some OJ, a tasty breakfast is the way to start up your day". We aren't too sure if she was impressed or if she was just in awe as usual(she does have two handsome men in her life now)

This will only get worse as he gets older and we can do more things together, it's crazy how much a child will make you change your daily outlook on life. I want to make sure that I continue to be his one and only role model in life. The only care in the world for me is the safety of my wife and son, there is nothing and I mean nothing that can steal my joy. My heart explodes with love, happiness and joy when I hold him.
