My Little Shadow Named Cole
I always looked forward to the day that I would have a son old enough to play with me. Cole has hit that age.
During the day, if Cole hears my office door open, his ears perk up. He hops to his feet and comes running down the hallway. Today, I went out of the office to get a bottle of water and when I came back Cole was sitting at my desk, “working like dad.”
Every night, he’ll sit on my lap as we watch the Red Sox games. When I do a home run dance, he does a home run dance.
On Saturdays, when we are doing our outside work, Cole insists on having his own tools and shovels. I love to have the little helper, even when he gets in the way. Last Saturday, we were fixing our sprinkler piping and each time the water would bubble up the PVC , Cole would be there to clear it away.
Of course, the benefit of of a Cole shadow is it reminds me that I’m an example to Cole and Will. What dad does, so also does these boys. So in addition to WWJD, my conscious recites WWCC. (What Would Cole Copy)
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. My Emma is my shadow. Literally. I will expound on my next blog.
You are a fabulous Dad Example. They will do great with you as their pop.
He sure is one of the cuter shadows that I have ever seen.
Cole is such a cutie! I love that age!
I like WWCC! just wait till they get older and you have to watch what Cole does to see what Will will copy. Its hilarious to watch but scary as well. I feel like i have tweedle dee and tweedle do too, sometimes!
Brian! Your boys are adorable and I bet it is so much fun to have them look at you like their hero. I think that is so freaking cute. SO much fun.
