So I finally got to celebrate my first “Father’s Day” this year…it’s definitely among my favorite holidays now! Harper gave me a tow-behind trailer/car thing so that I can pull him behind my bike. It has a little seat with seatbelts that he can sit in. It even has a bug screen and a rain cover! The kid is going to be riding in style! We took it for a test ride around the neighborhood and he loved it! He’d look all around and just coo. Meanwhile I’m breaking a sweat towing him up the hills around here. WHEW. Guess it’s cheaper than a gym membership!

Sometimes it still amazes me that I am a “dad” and I have a son. It never gets old to have him look up at me and grin…even though the grin probably means he just ejected a present for me in his diaper. Every single day there’s something new that makes me laugh, giggle, jump to the rescue, and just fall in love with the lil’ guy over and over again. I realized that Father’s Day isn’t just a holiday that happens once a year…Father’s Day is every day. Each day is more amazing than the one before it and I’m lovin’ every minute of it!

Crystal was getting Harper ready for bed tonight and she told me Harper had a surprise for me. Ok, so my first thought was that I was going to be changing a diaper. Fortunately, it was a good surprise. I walked in Harper’s room and there he stood wearing the same pajamas that I wore when I was his age! Well, he’s a little over a month older than I was, so they sort of look like high-waters on him, but it was still amazing to see my son wearing something that I wore 30 years ago.
