Celsie,
yes that is what I have been worried about also. My DH is the same as yours so very good at sport and building things and fixing things. I am worried that he and our little man will be as thick as thieves and I will be sitting back missing out. Needless to say my DH has the same attraction with kids and dogs. They all flock to him. If we are in the car at a set of lights and there is a car full of kids next to us they always wave and smile at him. Its amazing. Oh and my dog, when I bought her home at just 8 weeks of age she immediately started following her daddy around. She loves him and wont take her eyes of him. She is a daddy's girl for sure.
