For [livejournal.com profile] charloft Pride

It’s the twin’s birthdays today. I got a lot of pride from them. They were more or less born on the run. They’re the first kids I’ve raised from being born and they’re growing so fast. Both are up and walking, can babble a few words. I can’t deny being the proud dad. I’ve always been that way with my kids. The twins though are a milestone for me.

This isn’t to say that I couldn’t list all my kids here. I could but today is that one year mark. They’ve made it through the period that it makes me extremely wary. Watching them grow and get a personality has been an experience. Amazing how much you can learn from a kid that small; for example, juggling a phone call, diaper change and a second baby all at once while trying to make sure the other one doesn’t steal your beer. I think my hand eye coordination may have got better over the past year.

I’m getting off track. I’m proud of them or maybe I’m proud of myself for keeping them alive so long. I don’t know for sure but when I look at them I get that cocky, self-confident pride I’ve been known for.

I’m a proud dad, can’t be helped.
