Craig Melvin and wife Lindsay celebrate their son’s 10th birthday with epic weekend

TODAY's Craig Melvin is a proud dad to two kids, Delano, 10, and Sybil, 7, whom he shares with his wife, sports broadcaster Lindsay Czarniak.

In a joint Instagram post this morning, Craig and Lindsay added a joyous carousel of images from Del's 10th birthday celebration weekend.

The couple captioned it: "In the blink of an eye our little boy went from the baby who made us parents to the fun loving, caring 10 year old kid we adore. I think one of the coolest things is when you find yourself just really enjoying the time you get to spend together as they grow, experiencing the things they love and seeing it all through their eyes. We had a memorable weekend celebrating. Couldn’t love this crew more."

The images began with an excited looking Del blowing out the candles on a cake. From the dinosaurs on the tablecloth and his T-shirt, we can guess what the new 10-year-old is into these days.

The family of four journeyed to New York City and stopped outside the Neil Simon Theater to pose under the marquee for "MJ the Musical."

They also included a sweet photo of Craig and Del sitting in their seats.

Finally, Craig, Lindsay, Del and Sybil look like they had a great time at a hibachi restaurant.

The chef lit an onion volcano on fire and spelled out “I [heart] U” in noodles.

"In the past, I struggled with the uncertain and things not going as scripted," Craig tells TODAY.com just before Father’s Day in 2023. "When you're a parent, 90 percent of it is unscripted. It's taught me patience, for sure."

Because Czarniak's job as a sports broadcaster often involves weekend travel, Craig says the "division of labor" in their household requires him to be in charge of the kids on the weekend.

"I pretty much run a shuttle service on the weekends. We are always going somewhere," Craig tells TODAY.com, admitting he loves the role. “I have found that to be pretty doggone enjoyable, because you can find out a lot about your kid by listening to their conversations with their peers in the backseat of your car. I enjoy the eavesdropping.”

Read on to learn more about Craig's kids, Delano and Sybil.

Delano, 10

On March 10, 2014, Delano Joseph Melvin was born. On the day of his birth, Craig shared a selfie and tweeted: "My son already looks at me like, 'really dad. Really?'" He also noted that his son's nickname would be "Del." Craig's middle name is also Delano.

In June of 2022, Craig shared photos of 8-year-old Del receiving his first Holy Communion, along with pictures of his parents and in-laws, who were on hand to celebrate.

Craig tells TODAY.com that Del loves playing football and basketball and is a voracious reader who is also "a little dinosaur expert." In November of 2022, Craig shared a photo of him and Del at a Kansas City Chiefs football game.

Sybil, 7

On November 5, 2016, Sybil "Sibby" Ann Melvin was born, weighing 6 lbs, 6 oz., 20 inches long. In an interview with People, Czarniak and Craig shared that "Sibby" was initially short for sibling, and was a nickname Del would call the new family member while Czarniak was pregnant.

Craig describes his youngest child as "the life of the party." He adds that she loves gymnastics and dance, and also has started playing lacrosse, a sport her mom played in high school.

When Sibby started kindergarten last year, Craig shared a sweet photo of his daughter’s first day.

“You would be hard pressed to find anyone more excited about going to kindergarten than Sibby Melvin yesterday,” Craig said on TODAY about his then-5-year-old daughter. “She was ready.”

Craig also shared an emotional moment he had with Sibby recently, at her dance recital.

“I was never one who is prone to a great deal of emotion until fatherhood,” Craig told Parents. “My daughter recently had a dance recital that was two and a half hours for a three-minute performance. My daughter was third to last, and by the time her group got up to perform, I was just as excited about it as she was. The confidence she displayed was outstanding, and I found myself getting teary.”
