We often miss noting those brief moments that mark true milestones in our lives... I didn't want to miss this one.
Last night, while helping Gabriel get his jammies on, I received what I consider the best compliment:
"Daddy my shurt has a picture of you on it..."
"Yeah, this is a coool shurt!" (Totally spaced out, I missed the point.)
"That's you."
"That's Optimus Prime! Cool shirt, I know." (Still missing it...)
"NO, DAD!! You are Optimus Prime! YOU are Optimus Prime; Mommy is Roadblock; I am Ratchet; and Solie's Ironhide... YOU are Optimus Prime!!", he insisted.
I was dumbstruck. I didn't know what to respond... In my little boy's universe, I was the ultimate ass kicker! That was the cream on top, after being designated "Boss#1" by Sol earlier in the evening.
I guess I can now stop worrying a bit about how my kids see me.
Otherwise, today is a gorgeous afternoon that will see Gabriel hit the pitch for the first time, in full gear.
