I’ve got my Daddy

I spend a lot of time with the boys. We are buds. We play together, watch ballgames together, exercise together, shop together, share mealtimes together, even occasionally read the newspaper in the bathroom together. We enjoy each others company. On a few occasions though, we have had days apart. During times away from each other you kind of wonder if you’re missed because they’re so well taken care of by mommy, grandparents or babysitters. We had one such day recently where I left early and returned only in time for the 10:00 pm feeding. After finishing his bottle, Trey sat in my lap, and to comfort himself began sucking his thumb on one hand and held my jacket with the other. I got the message.
