I always thought I'd have a daughter. A little girl. As far back as I remember assuming I would one day have children, I just always thought I'd be a dad to a little girl. Two children later, both sons, I'm more than satisfied. A son to a father is perfection. It's what every man wants, seemingly. My two boys are close enough in age that they would likely and possibly always consider each other their best friend. Less than two and a half years separate my children. They're now eight and nearly six. Great ages, though I've always said that throughout their lives and assume will always see the beauty in every stage of life along the way.
They're interested in similar things. They have the typical big brother/little brother battles. They often want different things but they are inherently brothers. Each day is a joy. Each day brings similarities and differences. Each day with my boys is a gift.
