Hi
Its not often that I reflect on the brilliance of becoming a Dad, as most of the time I am being a cook, pack horse, philosopher, nurse, comedian, AV expert, horse.
However
Today, I took Our Kid to watch our local team play football. We walked up to the ground, went through the turnstiles and spent an afternoon with the other 250 souls in the Sun. (ok it's not Man Utd, at least the queues for the hot dogs were short)
He loved it, briefly, and naturally got bored and sat on the step, playing angry birds. Then he ran off to play with some other kids.
Afterwards we strolled home, and picked up a cuddly rabbit that we had left on a wall on the way down and hadn't been reclaimed, so it now joins the zoo on his bed
When we got home, he had his bath and bedtime story and fell asleep like a log, as he does every night. And then I thought, that really was for me. When I pictured being a Dad, I pictured doing just that today. Pretty special.
I should point out that he correctly noted (as I put him on my shoulders)
"Ah Dad, this is the coat you were wearing when I pooed myself and you had to carry me home"
