I mentioned in an earlier post that I was able to spend a couple of hours with my brother Ken, at the end of an incredibly busy week. No, I did not drive to Pennsylvania to see him; he made the trip for a wedding and a funeral.
This visit was near the end of Monte's nearly 6-week stint in Kentucky. We'd just returned back from visiting Monte there, which was great, but Isaac did not have a great deal of time with his Daddy. Isaac was so excited to see his Uncle Ken, whom he'd not seen in three months. Although I play with Isaac a lot, and I know he loves it, I don't have a great amount of strength, and I tire easily (having an infant to care for as well doesn't help). So having Uncle Ken to play with was great for him. He laughed so hard, and begged for more rough play, which I think Uncle Ken was willing to continue, too.
It hit me then that although I'm a great Mommy, there are things that I just cannot offer him as a woman. I love Monte, and he's a great Daddy, but his job takes him away so often. I am so thankful for the men in our lives who serve as other male role models for him.
