Daddy duty

The other day my son called and asked if he could come over and visit with his two little boys.  His wife was spending the day with a friend and so he was doing Daddy duty for the day.  When he came in the door, he had a diaper bag over each shoulder, the baby in one arm and the three year old holding his other hand.  It was quite a sight!  I'd say adorable, but he'd be embarrassed.  :)

I asked if they wanted lunch but he'd already taken them out to eat.  He'd taken them shopping and errand running all by himself.  As the visit continued, I watched as he gently and firmly steered the baby away from danger (the cat), played with his other son, changed diapers, and all with the ease of a pro.  I was impressed. 

Some time when I wasn't looking, an easily flustered young boy turned into a responsible young man with his own family.  What more could a Mom want?
