I love being an English teacher. I get to read great books with great kids all day for the entire year. I also love being a father. I get to raise a human being, teach him how to throw a baseball, and get to be the one who introduces him to the Star Wars films. This is a wonderful life.
This summer would be my first as a father. Rather then get to my to-do list items, I decided to distract myself with a father-son project. With the help of my eight month old son Gabriel, we have recreated some cover art from some great pieces of literature. So, in case you were wondering, this is what happens when an infant is left in the care of an English teacher for the summer.
