Among my proudest of moments
It's a big responsibility for me, as a dad, being my boy's primary male role model. I have to teach him how to be a man. A good man. It's a responsibility I take very seriously. And occasionally, I get that little piece of feedback from him that lets me know I'm doing my job.
We're in the kitchen preparing breakfast this morning. As he's crawling around, the boy says, "Da da da daaa..." In writing, it looks like nothing. In person, it sounded like the theme song for Monday Night Football.
That's my boy.

I said:
The boy's primary *male* role model, that is!
(I just want to say that I was there, and it absolutely did sound like the Monday Night Football theme.)
I said:
Whoa! Accident! Sorry wife. I'll correct it now. I meant primary male role model.

awesome dude. now you just have to get him to say 'are you ready for some foo-baaaaalll?' like my baby brother used to scream as he scampered around on monday nights back in the day.
hopefully that'll still be around in some form by the time he's interested enough to absorb it.

this boy is in TROUBLE ;)

The ironic thing is that we won't ever actually let him play organized football, just like my parents wouldn't let me. He'll have to stick to being a neighborhood football superstar, like his daddy. Or if he doesn't want to play it, he's at least got to have an appreciation for the game.

first cooing
then babbling
then syllables that sound like words
then actual words (I have not yet determined if your son has reach this point)
then sentences
then.. well...it's hopeless
they either talk incessantly
or say NO!

*waves to The Wife*
that's awesome. my sisters can't do anything like that yet and their older than the Boy. Maybe I should start teaching them TV show themes. or get them chanting something along the lines of "Big sister is the bestest"...or....or...start quoting rugrats or something!
I am overcome with baby/infant envy.

My greatest legacy to my male siblings is passing on my impeccable taste in music. They now run screaming from the room when Simple Plan comes on, and choke in disgust at the mention of Ashlee Simpson.
I also taught my brother the entire lyrics to the Strokes' 12:51.
Oh yeah.

(Oops) Hi the Wife!
