Our son is 12 weeks old today. Here are some of the things I learned so far as a father.
- Baby Burping: An art, not a science
- Eternity: The time between your baby being sleepy and actually falling asleep
- Split-Second: The time it takes for a happy baby to start crying
- Absolute Helplessness: Being the parent of a sick baby
- Absolute Relief: Being the parent of a baby who is not sick anymore
- False Economy: Buying cheap diapers or changing them less often
- The more adamant someone is about his/her baby theories, the less likely that they are true.
- Knowledge comes a distant second to experience.
- Using the baby as an excuse for being late to something only works the first time.
- The severity of the baby's drooling multiplies exponentially when you put on a clean shirt.
- Even the most loving grandparent cannot fully disguise a subtle expression of relief when handing the baby over to the parents for the night.
