On: Playing with my son

So by now I'm thinking that most of you were able to see the video of our son kicking, but just in case here it is again.



Up until now, as a father, admittedly the pregnancy has been kind of surreal and slightly detached.  As in, I know my wife is pregnant, but because its not me there is a level of detachment.  A couple nights ago I had an experience that changed that.  For the first time I got to play with David.  Granted it was a rather simple game, but it was one of the more amazing experiences in my life thus far.  It was a simple push, push back game.  For a good five minutes every time I would push in a certain spot towards either his foot or hand, he would respond by pushing back.  I've never had so much fun with such a simple game!!

I think to myself, if playing with him like this is this much fun, how much more fun will it be once he is born?  Wow.  We are looking at T-minus 3 months!!
