Being a Dad is…

November 11, 2011 in Ben, Family with 0 Comments

Being a Dad is a lot of things. This week, I’ve spent a lot of time with my two boys. Janell is out of town, and I’m alone with my two big guys. It’s been fun, challenging, funny, exhausting, and many other things.

Last night it was time to go to bed, and they wanted candy. I told them no because it was time to go to bed. They had already stayed up later than normal, and I was ready for them to go to sleep. Well, Ben had a tantrum. I pulled out my phone and recorded it. I hope one day he will watch this and laugh, too.

When I was a kid, we used to sing, “Oh be careful little hands what you do; oh be careful, little hands what you do. For the Father up above is looking down with love; oh be careful little hands what you do.”

That song was to remind us that God is always watching what we do, but yesterday, I noticed something that reminded me of the song.

Last night we went to the mall after dinner to let the kids run of some energy at the playground. We usually let Ben walk next to us so he gets a little extra exercise.

So we’re walking along and notice that Ben was lagging behind. Janell and I both turned around to look at him, and he was bending over picking up something off the ground.

While he is picking it up he was excitedly saying, “I found a coupon.” He held it up and it was a coupon for a free Chik-fil-a sandwich.

He is so much like his mother.

Ben decided to pay the pots the other day. He was having so much fun. I think I remember a video of Nathan doing the same thing when he was little, but I couldn’t find it. Hopefully I will and then we can see them both in action.
