Grow Up To Be a Daddy

Here's a couple of things Nate did awhile back that I don't want to forget.

We were sitting at the dinner table and out of the blue I asked Nate what he wanted to be when he grew up. He was about 4 at the time.

"An Astronaut"
"No..."
"A Fireman?"
"No..."
"How about a Policeman?"
"No..."
"Ok...The President maybe?"
"No. I want to be a daddy."

I just about dang near started crying right there. What an awesome thing to say, and it really touched my heart.

Of course you want them to grow up to be better than you, but it's still cool when you get to be an idol of sorts to them. If I keep this up, hopefully the kids will take good care of me when I'm in the home. :-D
