I saw this today and it made me smile...

I am generally not a touchy feely kind of guy, but today I saw something that made me smile...  Today I went into work a couple hours early today so I could come home and take Megan and Koby to Koby's 2-year old check-up.  Everything went really well.  He only had to get one shot, and he didn't even cry.  He just watched the nurse while she poked him with the syringe and said, "what's that?" 

Koby is growing.  He is up from the 10th percentile for height to the 25th, and his head is down from the 95th to the 92nd.  So I guess he is getting more proportionate, but he is still a little shrimpy with a bigger than average noggin. 

Anyway, as we were leaving I saw this picture on the wall with the caption below:

Even Superman needs a dad

Although I would never wear shorts that short or socks that high, I could picture myself as the dad in that picture.  I am sure like most new parents, I think that my kid is the most wonderful thing in the world.  He is funny, smart, energetic, playful, and pretty dang cute too (something I am sure he got from Megan)...  I don't think he has any imperfections.  He is like Superman to me.  But is it possible for Superman to look up to someone with so many imperfections, someone who is anything but Superman?  I know how much I looked up to my dad when I was younger, and how much I still look up to him (not to say that you are imperfect Dad), so I guess it is.  I know how much I have needed my dad, and he has always been there for me no matter what.  I wonder if Koby will ever look up to me like that in spite of my imperfections?  I hope so.  But either way, I will do my best to always be there and be the best dad to my Superman that I can.
