Daddy's Boy

As with all babies, Dixon's attention span is short. One day he will love a toy and drag it around everywhere with him. The next day it will be old news. This is true with everything from food choices to games he wants to play. There is, however, one constant obsession: his daddy. When Scott gets home from work, Dixon literally shakes and screams with excitement. Scott can't leave the room without a heartbreaking meltdown. And, much to my constant jealousy, Scott is the only one Dixon will let hold him for more than 30 seconds. He will sit and relax on Scott's lap for ages. The other day Scott was trying to fix something on his fish tank when Dixon crawled up and took him by surprise. Dixon insisted on sitting with Scott throughout the entire project. He was fascinated with the drill but made sure to keep one hand on Scott the entire time, lest Mommy should try to take him away.
