It's the light that shines on Daddy.
(arm wrestling in the backyard yesterday evening)
From the time we brought him home from the hospital Ephraim has been a certified mama's boy. As I like to say, he's a little bit obsessed with me. Or a lotta bit. Either way, he's in love. And while his adoration for me certainly hasn't waned (yet, thank God) he's found a new object of his babbling baby affection. And it's "dadadadada".
The scene when Brent walks in the door at the end of the day goes something like this:
Door creaks open.
Sarah screams and shrieks and lunges for the door asking "how was your day, daddy?!!"
Ephraim lights up at the sound of daddy's voice.
Ephraim gets a peek of Daddy in the doorway.
Ephraim flaps and waves and tries to take off.
Daddy disappears for a split-second as he takes off his shoes.
Ephraim crumbles and whines and looks around frantically.
Daddy reappears and scoops both kiddos up.
All is well.
He's a good one, that daddy. I'm glad you've seen the light, B-Ro.

And do you flap and wave and shriek too? My guess is yes! He's one lucky man to have such adoration but it sounds like he deserves it!
We have some great dadadadas in our group of men! That sounds like a similar scene that goes on around here. Except Jacob can run to the door with the girls too. Jeremiah never gets his shoes off!
Dads are definitely special!
Sounds like my kids when Daddy comes home. There is no price you can put on a great Daddy!
that's the best when the kids start paying attention to you. i should write a book someday about the delayed affections of kids to their dads. you moms have a 9 month head start on us. dang! :-)
Your little guy is getting SO big now.
Awww...what a sweet picture, and what a beautiful mental picture. Makes me want to call my daddy.
Oh, that is so sweet. I love E coos and chirps and I can just picture him waving his arms around. Absolutely adorable! Sorry I missed you on your way home. We'll talk soon!
so sweet! love the arm wrestling shot!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Dadas are something else, aren't they? :-)
Am I the only one who gets a little jealous over the Daddy phenomenon? As much as I LOVE that my boys are Koo-koo for Daddy I sometimes wish just once they would show the same enthusiasm over me! =) They are usually like, Okay, hi Mom. Can you quit kissing me so I can continue driving or chewing on my truck now?(They are 1&3)
Oh well. I wouldn't trade their daddy for anything even though he outshines me. He is, after all, the best there is!=)
Gotta love that father-son bond! Nothing like it!
sounds exactly like our house in the evening...cute!
I like to flap my arms too when I see Brent.

Sounds just like things at our house and I can totally agree with Heidi...can my boys please show me just an ounce of the excitement that Dada gets?!?! But I love him and the fact that he is an awesome daddy makes it all worth it and sooo much easier to sneak out and get a pedicure!!!
