Is it the love of being outdoors and having someone to play ball with?\u00a0 Is it that he always shares his ice cream?\u00a0 Is it that he likes to have helpers in the garden or building a lizard cage?\u00a0 Is it that he doesn\u2019t mind wearing necklaces or Easter hats and having bows in his hair?\u00a0 Is it that he\u2019s got a touch with a crying baby? Is it that he doesn\u2019t mind sharing his lazyboy or reading a book to them?
