Eddie Loves His Daddy

Out of every bad thing comes something good. We got in a terrible accident, and we wish it hadn't happened. But Ben has been home 100 percent of the time, and Eddie has grown so much closer to him. Eddie is still a mama's boy, but he spends a lot of time with his daddy now.


Eddie loves to be read to. He used to ask Ben to read to him occasionally. Now all day long Eddie is sitting on daddy's "lap" listening to a story.


Yesterday Ben was throwing his many pillows at Eddie, burying him in a pillow pile. Eddie loved it.


Randomly throughout the day, Eddie will go up to Ben and give him a hug, lean his head on his lap, or just touch him. You can see in Eddie's eyes how much love he has for his daddy. It has definitely grown over the past month or so.

Eddie gently touching Daddy's new hard cast. He is really gentle when touching Ben's "owie" (no, that isn't blood; Ben actually chose a red cast. He didn't have a lot of choice, apparently. We are so excited for the hard cast. It means Ben's flesh wound is healed, and that he can start getting up a little bit. He still needs to be cautious, though.).

I am not sure what we will do when Ben starts going back to school and having homework to do at home. We love being together!

I am glad to hear that Eddie loves his daddy and that his Daddy is on the mend. Is all this going to effect his schooling much?

I'm glad you have found a silver lining. Those pics are great. Forgive me for a moment, but I've always thought Eddie looks like his aunt Kiki a bit... in the third picture down, I'm sure I have a baby pic of her and they could be twins. I think it's great! Of course, the resemblance to his mommy and daddy is wonderful as well. I think it's fun to see all the family similarities and yet, he's such his own little person.
