Today is my 33rd birthday.
I am a husband, a father, a practice owner, a homeowner. I am so much more but those are the things that take precedence.
I can’t believe I’m sitting next to my three year old daughter watching her favorite show (wiggles at the moment). She’s wearing her Emma wiggles dress and bow. She’s gorgeous and makes my heart ache. The love I feel for her take me back to being young and giddy.
I can’t believe I’m watching my 10 month old son climb the couch and come toward me babbling. He’s wearing his bull dog jammies and babbling. He’s so handsome and strong. The love I feel for him brings out the boyish rough and tumble side of myself that I have always felt uncomfortable with but fall into so easily with him.
There’s so much going on that stresses me out. When I feel like I’m losing that part of myself that always loves fun I just look to them and know exactly where I’ve put it.
