I Love

I was scrolling through my photos . . .

when this one caught my eye . . .

a special moment recorded almost unawares.

I love how he plays with the kids.

 It's not really playing with tangible things ...

 it's about twirling them,

responding for their need to be tickled,

throwing them in the air,

giving aiplane rides,

and walking them on the ceiling.

The ones watching, beg for more 

as they wait their turn. 

They may be barely a year and point their little finger in his face

 to have him pretend to bite it. 

A little older and they ask for Papa spanks . . .

which means bending them over his knee,

doing a balancing act...

then clapping his hands to make it sound real.

I hear the giggles of relief that he did not forget.

I love that kind of trust

and the fun he has with them,
their Papa.
