A Son's Love for His Father

When I broke my arm back in December, Scott gladly stepped up and started taking care of parts of our daily routine that I could no longer do, such as picking Lucas up out of his crib, giving him a bath, etc.  Now that I am regaining strength in my arm, we rotate some responsibilities but Lucas has made it clear that there is one specific part of his bedtime routine that he wants his daddy to do.
Last night I asked Scott to run to the store to get some diapers and I would nurse Lucas and put him to bed.  Well try as I might, Lucas did not want to go to bed for me.  He wanted his daddy to put him in the crib and made it clear that he was not going to go to bed quietly for me.
Now I must admit that at first I was  annoyed, here I was the all-powerful mom (I mean come on, I have the milk) and as soon as Scott comes in the room and picks him up, Lucas falls asleep.  But then I was reminded of the special bond that Scott has formed with his son and I smiled.  Now all I can do is pray that Scott doesn’t have to go on any business trips in the near future…
