New Dad

Oh yes, this was the weekend. The weekend of just me and my tot, me-me. Just the two of us. Mommy's at work. In-Laws and friends are tied up. Two feelings come to mind: OH what fun!!!! and OH crap!

Aren’t they? Seems that the little ones are always reaching. Reaching for a binky, a pothandle, a brush that they can’t use or a remote that holds the key to their happiness.

Happy. Exhausted. In Awe. Crazed. In Shock. Helpless. Humbled. Confused. Angry. Proud. Terrified. Ecstatic. Whatever the feeling, you've probably felt it. We know where you're at because we've been there, too. Yes, that baby's yours.

For centuries, a husband and father's job has remained essentially the same - it is his duty to leave the family, hunt, and return with sustenance. Although we now bring home money rather than venison, men are still what they always have been: hunters and gatherers.
