The Luckiest Dad

Tonight as I was rocking Orion to sleep, I teared up thinking it was only a few years ago where I was watching other moms and dads walk down the street with their little ones, wishing that was me. As Orion fell asleep with his head on my shoulder, I got emotional over the thought that he made my dream came true.

Soon it will be Father's Day again and after that Orion will be turning two. He is such an independent little individual, has to do most things on his own. He HAS to feed himself with the spoon... no help from daddy or anyone else! And the way he does it, so carefully and calculated is just hilarious. Not only independent but so affectionate, compassionate, loving and caring.

He's also one of the biggest flirters I've ever known... today while he was getting his haircut, he was smiling at the people who were watching him in the waiting area. Afterwards, we went to the mall and he'd smile and run up to people who were passing him by. Later at Home Depot, he'd take the receipt from the self serve cash and give it to the sales associate at the door. The world is his oyster and I love him so.
