It’s hard to believe a week ago I was in New Orleans beginning an intensive three days of networking with other dads, talking about the role of dads, learning how to be a better dad and getting some face time with my online dad pals. But now I’m back to life, back to reality. And putting all these things that I learned into practice. The hard part.
Not so hard? Having breakfast the first morning back with my reason for being a dad. Sitting there listening to him, watching him, just enjoying the moment and basking in his early morning scruffiness. Some face time, if you will. If anything, my weekend away taught me anew how to be present with my son.
Yes, I realize for “being present” I sure took a lot of photos; but as you can see, he didn’t really notice until several shots in.
The “Just-woke-up-sleeping-on-my-head-where-am-I-I-want-food” Face
The “Telling-Daddy-something-really-important” Face. Like about Batman. Or pooping.
The “I-see-you’re-taking-my-photo-so-I’m-opening-my-eyes-as-wide-as-my-hair-is-high” Face
The “adorkable-ham” Face
So good to be home.
