I seem to remember reading that he was a pretty good hands-on Dad when his first bunch were growing up. Now he can choose the leisure to enjoy this child in a way that might have been more difficult the first time around. I've read about lots of older fathers who get a whole new lease on life as they raise young children, whether children or grandchildren. Older women (50+) are also going through lots of effort to have babies or adopt these days, and no one asks if they're up to it (or they ask less often).

More power to them!
