I have one lucky little boy.
He's the luckiest little boy because God has given him a tremendous gift.
That gift is a Daddy that loves the Lord, loves his wife, loves others and love his little boy so unconditionally it melts my heart every time I see them together.
I've always known Peter would be an amazing Dad. When we were dating I'd watch him interact with kids at VBS, or we'd work together on Friday nights at Chinese Church. Our loves of kids is one of the things that drew us together. But nothing can really prepare you for the beauty of seeing the man you love with his son.
He is so patient with him. So intentional and involved. He's goofy and active and teaches him about all things "boyish". He's a sucker for his smile yet firm in discipline when he needs to be.
He changes diapers, gives him baths, reads him countless stories, teaches him how to tackle, and reads him Bible stories at night. He helps him scoop up his peas onto his spoon and shares bites of his chocolate with him. He cuddles with him while he watches a dvd after a long day.
He plays with him at the park on Father's Day even though he was a bit cranky at times after only napping an hour.
He helps keep him quiet at restaurants when he gets in his loud, goofy moods.
He loves him despite his complete craziness at times, and in fact, cheers him on with his laughter. He loves his little dork of a son.
He lets him ride along on his shoulders, even when he decides to play the "boom boom" game on Daddy's head with a rock :-)
Benjamin's eyes light up every time he sees him. It's no wonder his first word was "Daddy"
Benjamin is a lucky boy and we are a most blessed family.
Happy Father's Day Peter, we love you sooooooo much :-)
