A Proud Moment To Be a Dad...or Maybe Not!

It was the end of the work day and time to get to pick Nolan up from daycare! I entered the room he was in and Nolan was at the far end of the room. I usually like to watch him for a minute interacting with the other kids, but this time he saw me as I came in. He immediately dropped the toy he was playing with and started to do a super speed crawl over to me.

I was thinking to myself that one of the great satisfactions of being a parent is when your child hasn't seen you all day and when he does he comes running (crawling in this case!) to you for a big hug.

Well this was the first time he had done this and here he comes crawling faster than ever! As he made his way to me I kneeled down and put my arms out to pick him up. Just as he was about to reach my arms, he veered sharply off to the left. What could possibly be better than crawling over to Dad I thought to myself.....how about a furry, flaming hot pink rocking horse!!!

Not what I was expecting to see, but it was pretty funny!
