Today we celebrate all the great dads out there and all they do for their children. I am officially part of the fathers club since our successful court date the other week.
I don't feel quite like a father yet as I really haven't done anything yet. Our son isn't home yet and I still have some things to do around the house before he gets home. I have to put up the baby gates, cabinet stoppers and etc. I have a month before we bring him home. It hasn't quite hit me yet how close we are to completing the process of adoption. I am just waiting for how life will change for my wife and I. Everyone always gives me the warning "oh you have no idea" from current parents. I brush it off as they don't realize what we've been through to bring my son home. This wasn't a slip up 9 months ago. This was a planned and carefully thought out decision done years ago to get to this point.
I am enjoying this time now of sleeping in, staying up late, being able to go to the gym when I want and hang out with friends. I know soon enough my priorities will all be about my son. Not because I have to, but because I want to. There is so much I want to show and teach him. I know the key is to keep them busy and stimulated so I have many tricks up my sleeve.
So to those current parents who believe I have no idea, I do have an idea and I can't wait for it to arrive.
